Camshaft suggestions?

That is very disheartening that you only made 319rwhp and 309rwtq. A guy locally with your setup made 330rwhp. Wonder what the differences were.
I have an intake, 4.10's, longtubes, prochamber, and canned tune. Will be adding CMDPs and UDPs next month as well as getting it tuned. I was really hoping to see 340+rwhp. I had planned to add cams after that to finish my engine mods.
I'll report back with numbers to see if I can do any better.

And wait, let me get this straight, you think with LT's, intake, CMDP's and UDP's you are going to see 340? Or is that after cams? You can see my #'s and mods in my sig.

Edit: and Brian, Pete insists that I would gain 6-8 at the wheels and it's not worth the 1500 for a nice set of longtubes, I discussed it with him when I was there.

Granted, I didn't do them for short term, I did them for long term. The blower I have sitting in my bedroom is thanking me in advance for getting LT's.

I''d love to go FI but have no plans to. Wanted to hit 350 NA and leave it at that. I was planning to do hot rod cams though. I am more interested in TQ than HP but haven't really thought about what I expect for it.

Edit: For a reference, my buddy built his 99 Cobra, did all the head work he could, some crazy cams, longtubes, and a new 5.0 stroker shortblock and he made 360whp, then blew it up and rebuilt it and added a new manifold and some other work and made 401whp, but for all that aggravation why not just boost it?

With what I've spent so far, adding cams now is less than a blower. Don't plan on high numbers just want to get to 8-9lbs per horsepower. I've started doing weight reduction already. It's a result of not saving up the money until I have enough for a blower and having fun doing small mods here and there.

I am in Cali but the car is registered in WA. That means no smog requirement (yay active duty military)
The goal of my car is to have a mean sounding, fun to drive, and beat your brand new 2013 Camaro at the light but not kill my pocket (any worse) on gas.
Yes I'm set to do it myself. One of my friends has a full shop at his house and is a professional mechanic himself. He actually used to work for MMR for a while.
I don't plan on using any boost right now but a supercharger isn't out of the question, just not on the drawing board yet.
I've been looking at the Comp Cams Stage II cams. My question there, should I stick with the NSR or replace the springs and everything to get the top end ones?
My plan for exhaust is going to be long tubes (probably BBK but I'm open to suggestions) with an Flowmaster cat back.
