Default Cam Reccomendations

I have a set of stock 243's laying around and it's about time for a cam swap. What would net me the best power for a daily driven car. It's an A4, more than likely 3200 stall with 3.73 gears. I am NOT however looking for monster cams (ms4.... things of that nature)

Don't have time to read the 50 thousand threads on that...... ANYWAYS...... I've heard about the eps lobes. I might have to check them out in a little more detail.

I have an old X1 cam, 230/227, vigilante 3200, all boltons and 3.73 gears and made 395rwhp stock heads on an auto. I also am looking at adding heads and a ported fast intake.
