Default Big Cam Question???????

I have the Trex in my car right now and I have heard from a few people that I should get the G5X3. Will it make more power than my current cam, or enough to make it worth while? Or is there another cam that might work even better? While my motor is out I am also getting a FAST LSX intake, going with 2.02/160 valves, and a 250 Direct Port setup. I don't drive the car everyday and I want to squeeze every drop of power out of this thing as possible. Any and all help is much appreciated.

do you think I could make more power with a bigger cam or am I pretty much maxed out for my displacement?

T-rex is about as big as they come dude....dont worry about a bigger cam you're probly maxin out stock displacement now anyways, no reason to get 3 more horsepower for how much extra it would cost..
