Default 416 cam question

I am going to be purchising a 416 short block in the next couple months. I currently have a 2008 LS3 auto with all the boltons a TSP 225/230 cam and PRC heads. I am going to keep the prc heads and put them on the 416 shortblock. I really like the driveabliy and powerband of the 225/230 cam. I currently make 480rwhp 446rwtq. I don't have a converter and would like not to have to put one in. What would be a good cam for a 416 that would be around the same as a 225/230 in an LS3. Any advice is appriciated.

Just use the same cam. You could spend $500 on a new slightly larger mild cam that will net you 10-15 hp more than this cam. Seems like a waste of money for what you are trying to accomplish.

i would like to match the cam to the cubes. I have no problem buying a new cam, i just dont want to do a converter. Im just curious if i up the cam to something like The spinmonster cam or a 230/236 would it drive close to the same in a 416 as a 225/230 would in a LS3
