Default Cam Questions? Recommendations?

I'm in the process of considering a cam for my C6 Ls3, plans is that i want to make 500hp to the wheels cam and bolt ons only and with nitrous 600+ depending on shot. Any recommendations on cams? or someone i can talk to about spec'ing me out a perfect cam for my goals/set up?, was looking at the BTR stage 4 cam, anyone have experience running this cam? Thanks in advanced guys!

Rule of thumb with a cathedral port motor, LS2's like 13/4 LT headers, they don't like underdrive pulleys, and as far as cams go you would like the exhaust to be 8 degree's fatter IE 231/239 T Mamo will agree with that.

Nitrous made like high 600s, when I was supercharged made close to 800hp and honestly driveability sucked due to I didn't have any cooling mods so would over heat in Texas Weather and traffic lol, but berly drove it and it blew the transmission lol. I prefer now N/A just cam and bolt ons, I can actually enjoy the car lol
