Default Cam for 408ci?

New to the LS building world but owned them for a while. Looking for input on the cam with a goal of 650 fwhp and tq. Distant future will be to add a procharger. I believe the below setup will be around 11:1 CR. It will be on 93 oct.

LQ4 block
TSP 408ci lower kit with Mahle -4cc flat tops
PRC 255 cc heads
Holley Hi-Ram 105mm

Sounds like a serious set up. More info would be helpful.

What type of vehicle is the motor going in?

How do you plan to used it?

Exhaust set up? Transmission? Converter? Gears?

It will be going in a C10. It will be mostly on the street with a few track days.

I'm planning on a 1 7/8 long tube headers, 3 in exhaust, Magnum T-56, and holley EFI setup. Undecided on the gears... suggestions?
