Default PRC 255 LS3 head cam suggestions

I posted a thread about the trickflows but didn't get many answers. I'm also interested in and considering the PRC 255 ls3 heads to save a little cash. Looking for some suggestions for a cam to get the most out of these heads. Maybe Tsp can chime in for some advice. Car is an ls3 swapped 4th gen. Mods will be Mamo ported FAST 102, yank 3600ss converter, 3.73 gear and arh long tubes. I'm looking hard at the Btr stage 4 unless there is a better option

How about stepping up to AFR LS3s to pick up a little power.
LOL
Pretty much same price as the TFS.

1. At some point Andy, you need to commit to a set of heads, understanding that some aftermarket heads will require something OTHER than OEM style rockers. This would mean anywhere from an additional $500 to $1200 to the cost of your build.

2. You need to determine what your ballpark compression ratio is gonna be. A large duration cam with stock(ish) compression will quash your dynamic compression ratio and you'll lose power (or at least, you'll suppress power gains). IMO, the BTR Stage-IV cam would work best with about 11.2 to 11.4 static compression.

3. For every person who answers, you'll liable to get a different answer what a suitable cam looks like.... IMO, you'll want to contact one of the many vendors/cam-gurus on this forum and have them spec you a cam that will suit your wants and desires. To not do this on a 'max-effort' build when these vendors are so available to you would be.......foolish.

Jus' sayin'.......

You really need to throw a dart over your shoulder and pick a head.
