Default LS3 Cam?

My buddy just picked up a 08' c6 and already has Intake/Headers/4.10s installed but he wants to put a cam in it soon. what cams have people tried in the ls3 so far? Has anyone reached 500rwhp with a bolt on cam ls3 because thats his goal so i'm pretty sure that would have to be a pretty aggressive cam right?

YES, I am taking my 08 to LGMotorsports Monday for a cam package, ported intake and TB. It will be over 500 RWHP when complete.

Had a LPE GT-11 put in my '08 by RevXtreme last week. New dual springs, etc. Already had Z06 K&N, ported TB and intake by Cory Harris, DTE Stage 2 3.90's,and LT headers/w cats. Retuned by Chuck (CoW) after install. The dyno man was not available (out racing) so I don't know what the numbers are, but it sure runs strong! Noticed I am down ~ 2 mpg on Hwy.
Looking forward to getting on a dyno!
