Default Cam help

I am in the process of building a forged 346. I also sent a set of LS6 heads to Absolute for a stage 2 port. I have a turbo 400 and 4000 stall waiting to go in, race EWP, Pacesetter headers, LS6 intake, 8.8 rearend with 3.73, I'll be spraying a 150-200 shot. I am gonna try the new MT Drag Radials. I currently have the TSP 231-237 cam, with the new shortblock I will be able to run a larger cam, the car gets driven on the weekends and at the track, I could care less about streetability to a certain extent. What do you guys think would be a good cam? The car is a 98 Camaro. Thanks

Is this a pump-gas motor? How many RPM's do you plan to turn? Is there anyway for you to find the CFM numbers of your new heads flowed through that LS6 intake? Are you looking for a max-effort nitrous cam, or just a cam that will work with nitrous?
