Default cam help

i would like a second opinion of a second setup for this car.
the cam that is currently in it is spec'd by predatorz for stock 241 heads.
232/228, .603/.598 on a 110lsa

looking to change the set up. i have ported 243's hogged out aloton the intake side primarily.
i wanted to reuse these heads and choose a cam more suited towards them.
looking at:
ms3
torquer v3
tsp 233/239
looking for something thats gonna lope pretty well with an aggressive idle and utilize these heads to the max?
keep in mind that i don't want to run it past 6.5k rpms.
i do have a 4k stall and 3.73 gears

yes stock rod bolts, heads have not been flowed.
i was actually told that it might be too much head for a stock cube ls1. i guess the intake was hogged out for boost in the future. would i be better off going with stock 243's?

you need good exhaust flow and duration for boost.any pics of the runners?what size valves?do the rocker bolts protrude into the intake runner?flow the heads and check the chamber for size, maybe consider a custom cam.at least you have gears and stall for a good cam.
