Default TEA 5.3 heads + which cam for stout daily driver

Bought some TEA CNC'd 5.3 heads. What cam would be a good daily cam, make good power, sound awesome (yes i'm vain), without fly cutting pistons or having piston to valve issues.

Yea i was thinking something like a 231/231 type cam, it is a daily driver. I know there are alot of smart people on the forum here, i'm sure patrick G is a busy man and right now I'm not super serious. Just looking for some ideas.

Yea that's a sweet PredZ cam. Boatloads of under the curve torque. Will need to go unmilled with GM MLS HG's unless you flycut I believe.

Search chrs1313 on here for results. He is a freak though

street car- stay under 230 and you will love it- go over and you may or may not love it. 224/228 would work great.

if it sees the track get something in the 230 range, but be carefull of PTV clearance.
