Default Best cam?

I usually don't post because most of the things i research end up being asked by someone else but i couldn't find this. I was wondering what is the best cam for my z06 I got a vararam intake, dynatech headers, borla straight pipes and tune. I want the cam with the biggest power gain car is only driven on the weekends so I don't care if it has an aggressive street manner. I will obviously get the supporting mods valve springs,push rods, and pulley. This was one of the choices

Speed Inc. Si5 cam 231 237 ,589 .595 112
Comp 7.4" Chrome moly pushrods
PAC beehive valve springs .600 lift
SLP Under drive pulley
and everything else gaskets and all that goodstuff

I am thinking of upgrading to better springs any feedback will be greatly appreciated

Is your desire to have the "maximum power gains" to be on a dyno, or power under the curve, with a wide TQ band?
