Default ls1 cam question 1 million

hey guys i just picked up a 99 ls1 motorset and t56 out of a camaro the other day.

this is going into my nissan 240sx drift car.

right now while the engine is out we are going to do a ls6 modded oil pump, and an oil accumulator and also do a cam, springs, retainers and push rods.

i was looking at the tsp cam kits and i just cant decide on a cam

im keeping the bottom end stock for now so i want to be able to rev it reliably so i think im going to get the rev limiter set at 6500? sound about right?

now as far as cams go the car needs a lot of mid range and some up top, i want to make power all the way to my redline so i dont want to go too small, but at the same time i dont want to go way too big that i want make enough midrange where i want it.

i was looking at the 233/239
the ms3 and ms4

power goals for the car NA are around 400whp

You should be more worried about getting ARP rod bolts

do the 233/239 I ran that cam for awhile and loved it, seemed like power exploded over 3k rpm.
