Default need help with these cam choices

i have narrowed it down to 3 cams for my 382 motor(381.5xxxci). so far this is what my car has going in it.

GTP S3 heads(2.05/1.6 valves),Th350 w/transbrake, 3.73 gears,long tube headers,...and bolt-ons

i have these 3 cams in mind, let me know what you guys think.

1)TSP 231/237
2)TSP Magic Stick V2
3) Trex cam

my goal is to run at least mid 11s on motor and spray a TNT DP with a 300 shot on top of that.

I personally like the TSP Magic Stick V2 cam. I think in the long run that might be the cam that we put in my wife's car.

i'd give TSP a call and tell them what your setup is and ask them which one they would choose between the 231/237, v1 (238/242) or the v2.

i did call trevor, he thinks the v2 with a 114 lsa will be better since i will be spraying a 300 shot.

anyone else have input? i have only a week to make a choice.

i dont have a problem with his recommendation, but i wanted a little more input as far as what the TRex will do as compared to the TSP cams.

both cams seem to be performing very well, but to know if it is right for your setup you may want to give Thunder a call.
