Question Cam Question Please Help!!!

I got a cam question. I have a 383 stroker ls6 forged motor with 9.5.1 compression and texas speed 5.3l stage 2.5 heads,i'l be using a .40 cometic head gasket. What cam would give the most rwhp and have a decent streetable lumpy sound? my old cam has a spot on it, but i want a upgrade from it {comp 224/224 .563 112lsa custom cam.} I also have maule -21.4 pistons if that makes a difference.
any suggestions will help thanks!

Why such low comp running N/A? Planning on boost? I would check out the gen III internal section, lots of people who know cams over there. Pat G, a sponser/admin on here also specs custom cams for customers.
