Default Cam specs for a 370?

Could I please have some opinions on this cam for my 370 build. 228/232 xer lobes 111 +4. The car is a daily driver and will see 500 miles a week. Motor has forged pistons with -2 cc reliefs, tsp ls6 2.5 hds worked on by wre for the larger bore and running a ls6 intake & ported throttle body. It is going to produce around 11-1 cr and 8.7-1 scr. I think it should be a nice cam for a daily driver.

i had a 230/228 cartek back in the day that i loved in the 346 . being you got reliefs you could go bigger and not have to worry about piston to valve as much . the cam you mentioned though would be an excellent daily driver on a built cube .

I already have the 111 +4 cam will the 113 +3 make that much of a difference? I saw the 113 drops the dcr some. Thanks again Pred-z
