Default Help me pick a cam!!

Hey, guys I am putting a LS2 into my M6 Z28. I am keeping the LS2 with the factory heads, and staying with my LS6 intake and will be running Kooks 1 7/8 headers. I have been looking at these cams below. Let me know what your opinion is on these. Thanks

I would suggest something bigger...

What are your plans for the car and what gears do you have?

I'm runnig 4:10's right now, if I need more than I will step up to a 4:30 gear. My plans are just a car I can take out and show and play with. It won't be like a car I take to the track all the time, it's convertible, so i make one pass and get kicked out for not having a roll cage.

Personaly, I would go with the trex out of those 3 choices. I would prefer to go larger though if it is a non DD.

FTI Hellion 243/247 112+2... it's designed for the LS2 and makes well over 500rwhp with heads.
