355 with heads and intake.... which cam?

Im building a 355 with just about every possible bolt-on, along with ported heads and ported intake. The heads flow 268cfm at .600 intake, and 203 cfm exhaust at .600. The guy that had the heads before me ran a 236/242 cam and was running 11.7s in the 1/4. Should I use this cam or something else? thanks (ps- i think my springs are good to .600)

I had a 236/242 xfi cam in my 355 setup and it ran great. The heads were the limiting factor and it made 372 rwhp at 6100 RPM. I suggest going with a shorter LSA than shelf cams if you can. Check out the voodoo lineup from Lunati. Those cams are badass.
