Default cam shaft help

So i'm replacing my engine,
I'm going with a 370ci
I 'm reusing my heads (Prc stage 2.5 5.3 heads 59cc), ls6 intake and ported TB, and my 1 3/4 headers.

Needing help with cam selection, want a cam that with good MPH on N/A, and be alright on the spray.

with my old set up my cam held me back big time , (Magic stick 4 239/242 .649"/.609" ) it sounded cool but that's about it. Low N/A Mph 114 through 1/4 mile and didn't work well with the 200 shot.

Look for some thing more pratical

all help appreciated

Thanks

sorry if in wrong section

EPS 236/248, all day every day. Fits the bill perfectly for what you're looking for.

The EPS 236/248 would definitely work well with the spray.

I run PRC 5.3 heads on a 370 with a cam very similar to the MS3 and MS4, and a Fast 92. Even if you run the MS4 on this combo it will perform really damn strong. My cam is a custom grind from TMS and has a lot more advance than the Magic Stick cams

Just be careful about reading into what a car is trapping based on what "cam" it has. Way to many other variables that come into play, not to mention what track, DA, temps, weight, etc, etc...
