question about what cam to go with on a LT1

wonderin what cam i should go with (im goin to get heads ported and polished to match) to get aroudn 380+ horsepower, not sure what lift would be my best bet but the cams im lookin at go like this:

dur @ .50 lift
int exh int exh
220 230 .510 .510
230 244 .510 .540
224 230 .503 .510

any advice on which to go with for 380+ horsies? torq is must 2, wantin around 400 or so (stock has like 320? i think) im just tryin to improve my 1/4 time a good bit internaly wise (dont want to use nitrous and cant afford blower atm)

I would go with the CC306 (the middle one .510/.540) in order to get the most Hp and Tq gain. However the CC306 is very lopy for a car today due to the 112 LSA. If you want less lope go with a cc305 (the first on your list .510/.510 with a 114 LSA)

If you go with the 306-I would get some gears also-it will make it a lot more street friendly.
