Default what is a good cam for 243 heads ?

I have LT's , with off road y and borla exhaust , LS6 intake , free ram air mod , and a lid . I just bought some stock 243 heads . What would be a good cam ?

Also are there any cam's that would require me to upgrade the fuel system ? If so what will need to be upgraded ?

the car is my dd and its an m6 with 80,000 miles .

Edit : This car will not be boosted or juiced . It will see a track once in a while . I would like to make the car have about400ish+ rear wheel & TQ . But I don't want anything that will be a lot of maintenance .

fuel pump for the hell of it and injectors stock once will work but with full bolt ones its worth it you will make more power up top. And you cant handle my slow M6 cam car
