Default Cam shaft selection

I have a 02 trans am full bolt ons and a 3600 yank stall! The car is a daily driver but I want a bad *** cam! And I'm going to change the heads further down the road! I'm looking deciding between the tsp 231/239,G5X3,Btr IV,tick performance! Which one would be my best decision? And I do race the car a good bit! Any other cams that will be worth my time? Also I want a cam that pulls hard under the curve and top end and will make 400rwhp just my goals

I'm a BTR guy at heart but it's hard to beat a cam I've seen which is smaller than all those you mention and still put out over 400 Rwhp. 430 to be exact threw a A4. Cam was from EPS 222/226 597 lift. That cam hauls ***!! 7.15 or so in the 1/8 mile.
