My cam is a Comp 54-424-11. It's mild, real mild, advertised as a great street replacement for the LS6 cam.
212/218
.558/.563
114 LSA
I have the LS6 intake. I would have to guess power to be around 400 at the crank given a slightly bigger cam but less head than an LS6 (rated at 405).
I got a recommendation for a street friendly cam from "Patrick G." and he spec'd out:
218/226
.598/.570
115 LSA
I listened to some idle videos of similar sized cams and decided on the milder one. Probably could have gotten away with the bigger cam but I was coming off years of big HP at the expense of MPG and annoying as all hell fuel stink. I was done and not willing to risk it. Plus the other stuff you mentioned, I would have started to look at injectors, ported oil pump, upgraded t-chain and right back down the rabbit hole... Now that it doesn't stink and you can hear yourself think, the kids ask to take it everywhere we go, that's worth a lot more than the 150-250hp I gave up from the previous engines.
I need to have it tuned but I'm waiting to get the AC on in case some adjustments need to be made so no actual power numbers. Should pick some up from what you experienced at Rex Raceway. "Tuned by Frost" has a great reputation and he (Steve Williams?) uses the dyno at PAS in Richmond. Also does mail order, but Richmond is local enough.
It's very tempting when it's sitting there on the stand begging for go fast goodies...

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...
