What do you think of this cam? 224/229 .615/.600 117lsa 114icl

I'm really looking for a cam capable of 450rwhp with ported 2.02/1.57 LS6 heads. -With stock manifolds- But I want the cam to idle like stock with just a 50 or 100rpm bump and not hunt for idle like crazy all the time. I'd also like it to peak @ or before 6600rpm. I also plan on spraying it. Small shot though so not a big deal.
Thoughts?
I had a FM14 232/234 .598 112lsa cam and it was a great cam, but just not worth it everyday.

contact lt1dave, or EDC, their custom cams have been making killer numbers....in the ballpark of 460-475 hp on stock bottom end with heads. They also peak numbers at 6200-6400 rpms.

CheaTR or LPE GT11 for that kind of setup.
and you'll be lucky to hit 420rwhp without supporting boltons.

The lifts are for power/smoothness (contribute to stock behavior)
Look at the TR CheaTR same pattern, but smaller lift.
GT11 will out do the CheaTR by a few more ponies.
921's recommended (or similar capable springs)
Anyone have a dyno of a GT11? I searched everywhere and couldn't find one. I found a 6.0 LS2 that I THINK might have had one and it put down ~420rwhp through the stock exhaust, which is very impresive. It was over on the CF
