Need help picking cam for new setup>>

I am building a new 355 LT1, the block is zero decked, has Mahle -5cc pistons with Scat 6 inch rods. The heads are MTI ported LT1 castings that flow 290/190 @.600. Compressioin shouild be high 11's. The car weights 3640 with me in it. I'm looking to go low 11's NA. The car is mostly driven to the track (less than 5000 miles a year) Help me pick my cam....

Are you looking for a recommendation on an of the shelve cam or you wanna go custom? A nice one is the GM847, but certainly a custom should be better.

I would try to get in contact with Bret beuer (I think that is his name) he does alot of custom cams for people and they seem to have good luck. Or you could call loyd elliott I believe Brett does cams for him also.

Matt you can go pretty large with the TH350, the bottom end you have and the 3400+ stall.

Thanks Thomas, hows your new setup doing? Went to the track Saturday still in 12.1's but I pull the wheels now with the new QA1's.
