Default bumping up compression on a ls1

I have a 98 z28 camaro and I want to up the compression. I'm thinking anywhere in the neighborhood of 11:5 or 12:0 to 1 compression. I'm going to get the pistons coated with cbx coating and I'm also trying to select a cam to match with the new compression ratio, what should I look for as far as cam?

The cam will really depend on which heads, cubic inches, and other mods you have planned. Also what are your plans for the car? Full time drag car, street car, cone killer?

I want to keep stock heads just going to get them ported, I want to bump up the compression and have all bolt ons. It's going to be more of a weekend warrior car.
