Default LT1 A4 cam recomendations

My heads are being ported and it's time for me to ask about CAM recommendations.

My car's published shipping weight is 3360, so make it 3600lbs on the street.
I have:

58mm TB
Electric H20 pump
7/16 1.6 ratio NSA Comp Pro Mag rocker arms
1 3/4" primary Long tubes
3" collectors and 3" high flow cats
Smallest size pipe in my exhaust is 2 1/2" most of it is 2 3/4"
2800 stall converter with lockup
4L60E
3.45 rear end gears
285/40/17 tires


What are you running and if you could do it over again what cam would you run?

Was running a hot cam in a 383, now i will be running a custom Bret Bauer cam. Since you have the desired rocker/stud setup I would check out what he has. Also knowing what your flow specs will help you figure out your choice on cam.

On the stock heads I really like the XE 224/230, but I like a touch more driveability than most.
