Default want to help me pick a cam?

yes, i have searched over and over again, but i cant make up my mind. im looking for a cam to get the most power out of a 346 with ported heads (not an extreme porting job, somewhere around a stage 1.5 or so) on a 150 shot (all bolt-ons). here's the thing though, i dont want to use some of those monster cams that people on this board are using because i dont plan on revving past 6500-6600 rpm's, and some of those big cams work best shifting around 6800 or even 7000. with that in mind, which would you recommend?

some i have been looking at:
MTI G1: 228/232 .588/.575 113 lsa
FMS F7: 224/230 .588/.595 114 lsa
FMS F11: 228/230 .576/.595 114 lsa

ps. i know this has probably been asked a million times, and i apologize (yes i searched, im just still very undecided, i'd like to do it right the first time)

id do either the 3rd one, or call ESP about there ESP1 cam, it makes great power on my car and many others, and its very drivable, it accualy made more power then the t-rex cam i started with which is a big ****!
but the 3rd one looks like the best, but i may say go on a 112 and go with a 580 or 585 insted of 595

why do you say to go with a little less lift?

also, on a 150 shot, a 114 lsa won't offer any advantage over a 112 lsa (all the local sbc guys are telling me to go with 114 lsa for spray, but most ls1 people are telling me it won't make a difference with this size shot). anyone have a definite answer to which lsa is better (at least in my case)?

FM-F7-114 FMS Custom Grind Camshaft - 224"/230" .588"/.595" 114LSA - aggressive profile with a 1800-6800 RPM range, fair idle, recommended for blower/nitrous applications

That is the one I'd use.

The VE's on this cam FM7 and FM6 have been designed for N20 applications. 114 lsa for less overlap.

little less lift, means very very close power but less drivetrain abuse.
if you get a 112 install it advanced a tad, 112 or 114 isnt going to make a huge difference in a small set up with no n2o shot
