Default Best cam for High CR 408 w/LS6 ported heads

Just like the title says...what cam will work best?...

Scenario: I'm taking out my -15cc pistons and putting in -2cc pistons, to raise the CR...currently at 10.4:1 SC and 7.79 DCR right now using the following setup:

408 NA iron
243s ported by Patriot, .660 lift dual springs
BBK intake, ported TB 80mm
.040 gasket
plenty of fuel, Walbro, 44lbs
LTs, true dual exhaust
3000 stall, Daily Driver 5500lb Silverado

With the -2cc Dish diamonds installed, my CRs will be raised to 11.6:1 SCR and 8.6:1 DCR....

the bump in scr/dcr should help quite a bit. what is your current cam ?

it's a 240/244 114 LSA /110 ICL. and you are definitely right about the bump/help part...originally I was going to use FI with the -15 pistons, but decided to stay NA since its a DD 99% of the time...
