Default cam recommendations for 509 bbc

What would be a good cam to use for this motor. I had a bullet racing flat tappet cam with the specs of 239/249 @ 0.50 with a duration of 296/306 a lift of 558/580 on a 112 lsa and an rpm range of 2500-6500. I was told it made 525 hp with a dual plane manifold. Currently the motor has re freshened gm ls6 open chamber heads, gm bowtie block, hp 500 single plane manifold, roller rockers, holley 850cfm carb, with emi thunder exhaust. I can get a new cam with the same specs from bullet racing; but, was wondering if their is anything that would work better with my setup. I would like to remain with a flat tappet style cam.
