Default What cam?

1998 C5.
370 Iron block, forged internals.
Prc stage 1 heads
11.3:1 comp.
4l60e yank 3600
3:42 gear
Fast 102 90mm tb
Full exhaust
Small 125 shot.

Looking for a decent "proven" off the shelf cam. Had a MS4 on my 346 and it was a bit too big, and the power band i thnk was a little too high. Im shooting for a 10.99 off the spray. I know there is more to it then just driving up the 1/4 to a 10 second pass but thats my goal. Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks!

I like your goal, and I think it is real doable with a 370.
I don't know about shelf grinds, but for $25 more, EPS will design and deliver a custom one for you. I have a 226/230 114+3 and I'm loving it in my 346. Mellow idle, and pulls hard to 6500. I'm just now making my first passes.
I have the same drivetrain and the same goal, although not sure if the 346 is enough. No plans for the bottle, although I have a few sitting around.....
Engine Power Systems.
