Default still looking for the right 408 cam

I have an iron 408 with patriot stage 3 heads, eagle shortblock and JE flatops new victor jr intake and a fast 90mm tb and fab elbow compression is 12.1. I have tried 4 cams so far and everytime I go larger I dont seem to lose any low end or ET YET ? I currently have a 238/242 .610 112ls . I am looking to make 550+ RWHP. I run VP c16 gas always as I have a pro fogger with seperate fuel system with 300hp pills. I have a 4000 converter and 4.22 gears so obviously not a DD just a toy to **** off mustangs with. i was curious if anyone had a similar setup and knew what would fit ? I have the patriot double springs installed at 1.800 for .660 lift. But I am trying to avoid removing the heads I clayed when I built it but cant find my papers with my clearances. I was thinking 244/252 with a .620 lift and 110 ls ? maybe bigger would help my ET's if I could shift at 7000 and make power there. tell what you think ?.
