Default Cam Help

Had my 05 M6 dynoed recently for rwhp of 337 and tq of 344 SAE uncorrected. The next mods will be Melrose headers, high flow cats, and x pipe with a Callaway Honker, and tune. Hoping for 35 to 45 rwhp from these mods and tune.

I believe a cam may be next, can't afford heads too at this point.

With no mods my best 1/4 has been 12.84 @ 111.9. The car has also run 114.9 but with a 13.1 ET. I like to hit the 11 sec bracket while maintaining stock driving characteristics and would like to know if a sleeper cam would get me there.

I also would like the ego/bragging rights to 400 hp.

Cam suggestions would be appreciated.
