Default What camshaft for a max effort street 408?

I'm expecting to go with a APE shortblock and 6.0 race heads, and I am trying to figure out what kind of camshaft to go with. It will be paired with a LSX 90mm intake and TB, and a nice little fuel system and a healthy 200-300 shot of nitrous. I want to run this through something like a Yank SS4000 or maybe a 4200 of some kind. That'll go out to a 9inch with some 3.90 gears with 28in slicks.

I was thinking about something like a 246/252 on a 112 ... it seems like most people run big cams with the stroker type engines so I didn't spare.

I'm not aware of it. I was refering to buying a shortblock and adding their heads and custom grind camshaft.
