if you want a huge cam take a look at the vindicator cam also. I would rule out the ms4 since you will have to flycut your pistons to run that on stock heads. I dont know about the others but keep looking around.
Remember with cams that big a mis-shift might result in needing a new engine.
I say get the vindicator on 112 this guy did and put down awesome numbers for having a ls6 intake and a flowmaster muffler.

Luis all those cams you listed are friggin huge and I doubt very much you will like them... just watch out, because big *** cams don't necessarily mean it'll yield the most power. And even if it gives you great peak numbers, you'll want to stretch it across a wide range on your power band... not just one little spike at 7000 rpm...
The vindicator as mentioned above seems like a nice cam... still a little big for my taste. The VRX5 is also one you might wanna look into. I'm sure Ryne could probably spec you out a pretty good one as well...
3 words... DUAL valve springs

why such a big cam??? is this a drag only car?? i mean what is your reasoning? is it the sound you want? i mean i can spec you 228-232 on 110+2 and it will kick the crap out of all those cam listed in a street light to street light race in a cam-only application and sound mean at idle while doing it, you really need to think about this, for diving for this biggest cam you see imo..

I think your #'s are really HIGH for your mods. You should get dynoed somewhere else to see if you put around that same power (All dynos will vary). I think those are the highest #'s I've seen with those mods. About the cam... Big doesn't always mean better!

+1 for a custom more well rounded cam.

Could you give us some more info on your future plans??? I mean if you're going to do heads later when the money is there, I'd get something smaller. I'd only get a big cam if I was going to purchase a FAST intake but I don't think you want to get rid of that pretty ls6 intake you have custom painted so go with something smaller bro. Maybe one of TSP's torquer cams or the 233/239???
