Is this Head/Cam Setup too Agressive for a Daily Driver?

Is this Head/Cam Setup too Agressive for a Daily Driver?
Ok, I think I have made up my mind on my mods.
My Current Car: I have a 2002 Camaro SS 35th LE Vert w/M6 and the 345HP SLP package and 85K miles. The only performance mods currently are my exhaust which is the GMMG mated w/CME tips and SLP Y-pipe w/gutted cats.
My plans:
Cam: F13
Heads: AFR 205cc
Headers: QTP w/catted Y-pipe(hooked up with the GMMG and CME tips)
My Goals: My goals are to get as much of an increase in horsepower as I can without sacrificing too much driveability. The car is a daily driver where I am putting about 2000-2500 miles per month on it(mostly city); so driveability is a huge issue. I am not planning on taking the car to the strip or even racing it; just want the thrill of being fast if that makes any sense.
Is the F13(230"/232" .595"/.585" 112LSA) going to be too aggressive for my goals?
Are there any customizations I can make to the grind to give it more low end torque?
I currently have LS6 intake. Would changing the intake make any significant difference with that setup?
Lastly, how much louder is this going to make the car? When I gutted my cats it made the car tons louder. Now that I will be back to running cats, will that pretty much even out the addition of the new heads and cam?

I would say that depends on how much you can live with. I can live with alot, but some people want it to drive 100% stock, which probably wont happen.
The intake shouldn't make any difference in the driveability. But you might want a 90/90 to take full advantage of that setup.
Not sure about the cam grind question, maybe someone with more knowledge on that area will chime in.
