help me pick a cam

im looking to do a cam swap soon. i already have stock ported heads, they made 400rwhp with a 230/236 cam by the previous owner of the heads. the springs will handle up to 600 lift. i was just wondering what cam you guys would recomend, should i go with 230/236 cam that the previous owner used or go bigger? i was thinking of the gm847 cam? i will be using 1.6 rr's.
