Default Help me choose a cam for a LS3 cause I have no clue!!

When it comes to choosing a cam, I have absolutely no clue. I didn't when I had a sbc and I don't know now. I've emailed and pm a few different people about prices and suggestions, but haven't heard back from any of them.

For those that don't know my build, I have a L92 and am leaning towards getting rid of the VVT and getting a Speartech harness. The motor is stock and I have a stock LS3 intake with a LS3 throttle body which has been ported and polished. I have Stainless Works long tube headers and will be running a TKO600 with 3.70 gears in the back. I was looking at the Comp Cams camshafts, but they don't say much about them so didn't do me much good as like I said, I'm a cam idiot . I found a cam from Texas Speed which says it adds 80hp to the stock motor. The specs are: 231/236 .641"/615" 111 LSA. Here's a link to the cam: http://texas-speed.com/shop/item.asp...=1057&catid=44 They have a cam package where you can get the cam, double springs and push rods for $699.

What are you thoughts on that cam. I want the engine to have the classic muscle lumpy sound, but don't want it to be too much cam as the car is going to be 99% of the time street driven. Or is there another cam you would recommend. I need to make up my mind fairly soon as there is a 3 week wait for a Speartech harness and I want to make a day trip to the border to pick up parts in early June. Thanks in advance.
