Default cam recomendations

I'm fixing to order my cam, and I wanted some opinions on what I should get. I have been looking at the TSP 231/237. Trying to get around 380-390whp, but i also want a cam that will work well when i decide to do heads. Just a lid on the car at the moment, but i have pacesetter lt's, TSP ory, and LS6 intake stiitng in the closet to install when the cam comes in. with these mods what cam will get me to my goal?

gotta be a 100-125shot?

anything around 228-230ish should get you 390-405hp cam only with full bolt ons.. so in other words, you dont need a cam that big to make those numbers you wanted. Hell, some are seeing 390's with just a 224 cam and bolt ons

just do a search and pick a sponsor you like and get one...
