Default Another Cam ?

Ok guys I am finally doing a cam and LS6 intake. I have a 00 SS M6 with 3.42 gears. My mods are SLP longtubes, loudmouth, Hi flow cats, lid and filter. I know the cam basics but I have researched so many posts on her about different cams I am more confused now that ever. I may get heads but not sure. I currently have 350 rwhp and 353 rwtq. I want over 400 rwhp but peak numbers are not as important as good under the curve power. I want it to have a nice lope but not unbearable to drive. I think the good ole 224/224 will be too small I do not want to raise my rev limiter either. Please help.

i think a cam with close to 440rwhp will be hard to do without raising the rev limiter. I have the f13 waiting to go in and plan on raising my limiter to 6,900. Ive heard that under 7,000 should be safe, just dont take it there all the time. Right now it seems the 2 most popular cams for a daily driven m6 are the f13 and the torquier 2. Both will make great power, and still have good street manners. However you will have to raise the limiter. Even with the ls6 cam you should raise the limiter though.
