Default 408 Stroker Cam Question

Planning a 408 stroker build for my 2000 C-5, short block: Scat forged rotating assembly with -4cc pistons, GMPP CNC ls3 heads with ls3 intake 68cc chambers, shooting for 11 to12:1 compression. 3,400-3,600 stall with a 3.42 rear gear and full exhaust. The missing piece now is a cam choice, this will be a street car so i'm wanting low rpm torque that will pull to 6,500.Does anyone have any exp. with the "Baby Cam" 222/232 .608/.606 114+2, has dyno'd with 380+ tq at 2,200 but power fell off at 5,500 rpm. Tick stage 1 232/244 .635/.620 111+2 makes power in the 2,700-7,000 rpm range, no dyno info. or the TSP 244/248 .615/.615 112 lsa or the 114 version 2,400-6,800? I kinda understand how cam's work but I'm wanting someone with more knowledge or use of them to offer some advice. I'm having a hard time getting in touch with Pat G. or Ed C. to spec me one, so im going to entertain a off the shelf cam for my build. Any info. is appreciated.

Call Cam Motion and talk to them, tell them about the build and ask them for a recommendation. They know their stuff. Good luck.
