Default Best Cam for 243 heads?

I am going with the 243 heads. i have a ls6 intake,long tubes, hot wire fuel pump,and have a set of 32 injecters.

I am planing on geting good springs,keepers,rockers,oil pump,timing chain,ect

I want a some what chopy idle so you can hear the cam, but have ok drive ablality,car is only driven on weekends and is driven to and from the track.

any inputs would be great... Im in a va, so would also be looking for a good tuner.

Steve Frost is in VA.

you want something off the shelf, or custom?

shelf cam I'd go with 228r or 233, custom I'd prolly go with EPS. They seem to be building a reputation.

Do a search on my Dominator 2 cam. Nice lopey idle, good driveability and great power.

TSPs TV2 has a nice chop to it and is very streetable. If you get your heads ported you might make 450rwhp. But cam only I doubt its possible.

Correct me if Im wrong, I probably am; LSA has more to do with choppiness of idle comparing to duration/lift?
