I've installed allot of the cams in this tread, so I'll throw in my .02
Hot cam, CC502 and LPE 211/219 all too small for 11s, you'll peak before 6Gs because of the small duration the engine will run out of air. Besides, with an automatic you want the 219/219, not the 211 on the intake side! Either way, the short duration/high lift makes power down low not up top!
I'd look at cams like the 503 or even the Comp Cams "Extreme 230" = 224/230, .502/.510 + 112 LSA. Actually going to be installing one in a few weeks on a bone stock LT1. Plan is to add shorty headers and 1.6 rockers later so this will make for a nice "street" cam only needing to bump up the stock shift point slightly. Will be a fun little ride.
As far as the "big cams" not good with stock heads? Well, you aren't getting the full potential but,,,,
847 cam (using 1.5 rockers) , Mac shorties (with cats), 3600 stall, 3:42 gears, CAI and DRs. Heads have never been off the car = 12.2s all day long. revlimit 6600
Did anohter using a 305 w/LE heads, long tubes, stall and 3:73s also going 12.2s. rev limit 6400.
Both of these are street driven and are full wieght cars.
Can you tell I'm not a fan of spinning stockers up high? I too like to target 6500 on stock bottom ends. If you have good springs matched to the cam, and a good oiling system ( upgrade pump = spring ) you should be fine setting your shift point in the 6200-6300 range.
