Default LS2 GTO M6 cam selection

I read the cam guide and have been doing some searches for the past couple weeks since I am at the point where I starting to narrow down the cam I am going to get for my brother and I's winter project. The car is an '05 GTO M6 with stock 3.42 gears, only mod at this point is Kooks LT's with off-road pipes.

I am kind of leaning towards the Futral F13/F14 112 LSA but I was wondering what experience/info anyone has on these and any other cams that would work well in the LS2 with the stock 243 heads. I have looked through almost all the sponsors and am basically just looking for advice/info from the community here. I like the aggresive idle from the 112 LSA and don't mind sacrificing some drivability for power since this isn't a daily driver, but it isn't a racecar either.

I am planning on the PP Gold Dual Springs and Comp pushrods to match with the cam as well unless a package includes something different like the one from Katech, etc.

Thanks.

yeah, that was one I was looking at, he has a real good rep for making awesome power in the LSX motors. I was just exploring all my options before I call and take up someone like him's time.

Would that big of a cam still work well in with the stock heads?

A few bolt-ons and that cam should give you close to 450rwhp
