Default custom cam

Which of the sponser cam gurus has the most experience with cams for LS3s. More so LS3s with single plane intakes. All the specs are stock LS3, except 1 7/8s long tubes and a Vic Jr intake. Auto trans(2004R), 3.42 gears,26in tire, 3300lbs. Street car with manners for power brakes and AC.
I want to do this once and I know the LS3 heads are picky about valve timing AND it has the short runners of a single plane intake. I want MAX power without giving up good street manners. Who is the MAN?

They seem to be the popular choices. Id like to know which one has more experience with the LS3 heads and carb intake.

My dads 6.0 with ls3's on it. Stick car

Drives it every day. Will pull nice and smooth from idle to 6400 with a heavy load on it.

Flowtech Induction did the cam and springs.

Most of your guys who can spec cams such as mentioned here Geoff, PatG, and Ed can spec you a cam no matter the induction setup. As long as they can figure runner length and head choice they will all nail it pretty good from the rest of the info you give them.

You'll need something with less intake duration than the usual and a tighter LSA and ICL due to the single plane.
