Help me choose a cam and I need advice on these heads.

Help me choose a cam and I need advice on these heads.
I have a stock bottom end LS1 with a FAST 90/90, LT headers, SLP 85 MAF, 98mm air lid, and some more supporting mods.
Here are the heads that I have. I know they might be a little big but I got a good deal on them and I have them and I'm gonna use them UNLESS they just arent gonna work or not be worth a damn on my motor. So let me know what you think about them.
Stage 2 CNC Ported LS6 #243 Casting Flow Data @ 28" Water:
Here are the numbers.
Valve Lift Intake Lift Exhaust Lift
.100 //// 70.1 //// 58.1
.200 //// 142.4 //// 119.1
.300 //// 202.0 //// 167.2
.400 //// 246.1 //// 205.6
.500 //// 287.7 //// 221.5
.550 //// 300.8 //// 229.7
.575 //// 307.2 //// 231.9
.600 //// 311.6 //// 233.9
.650 //// 312.7 //// 234.4
I used the //// to separate the numbers out. It kept bunching them all together.
Valve sizes: Intake = 2.02" Exhaust = 1.57"
Intake runner volume = 233.3cc
Exhaust runner volume = 86.3cc
Combustion chamber volume = 69cc (w/min.mill)
Test bore = 4.030"
Intake port tested with radius flow plate
Exhaust tested with stub pipe
I do not want to flycut my pistons because I will be spraying nitrous and I dont want any problems. I want the biggest, nastiest cam I can put in it without flycutting. Let me know what you think.
Thanks guys.

LOTS of people run 243 heads with great success. They should compliment a huge array of cams.
I know nothing on spec'ing cams but I hear this guy comes HIGHLY recommended.

Lot of people run those heads on stock bottom end. I don't see that as an issue at all. As far as a cam goes, something along the lines of the Torquer V3 should do you well (231/234 111 lsa). Broad power band, plus a mean idle with the 111 lsa, (10.5 degrees of overlap).
