Default Need help with cam selection for 382

I'm gonna get a comp cams XER grind. Eventually gonna get a Yank 2600 stall. I tow a small boat and a couple of atvs on a trailer every now and then. Want a lope at idle and something that pulls hard from off idle to at least 6000-6300.

Here is the set-up:
-98' LS1 Block
-Patriot Peformance Stage 2 5.3 Heads
-4.000" Eagle Crank
-6.125" Scat H-Beam Rods
-3.903" Mahle pistons (-6cc)
-LS6 Intake
-Dyno-Tune
-Full Bolt-ons
-3.90 Gears

Thunder Racing recommended a 224/228-110 and TSP recommended a 232/234-113. So I've narrowed down my options to these cams:


-224/228-110
-226/230-112
-228/232-112
-230/232-112
-232/234-113

Which one would you get? I want good top-end, but peak numbers don't mean crap to me. I'm more off an "under the curve" person. As of right now, I'm leaning towards a 228/232-112.

im not to intelligent but you might be over camming that size stall. For that cam I would think you would want a little bit bigger stall, but what do I know?
