Default 408ci's please come in!!

What cam should I put in my car if I was going to put in a 408? My heads are milled .50 ls1 stage 3 heads so im having to run 10cc give or take a few (going to let my builder decide that) dished pistons. I don’t want the motor to be too radical or pushing the limits as far as clearance issues with the cam I want it to be dependable.

Im trying to get the compression down to about 11:2:x what do you think?

The gears in the car are stock 3.42 but id probably go to a 3.90 when I beef up the tranny. So what do you think about 3.90's with that big of a cam?
