Default Help with cam for ls2 shortblock w/215tfs, fast 102/90

I'm having trouble deciding on either using my current cam (not installed) 228/230 585/585 112, or going with something slighly bigger or a custom cam? My set-up consist of stock LS2 shortblock, 215 tfs heads, 1.7 YT, ported fast 102/90, kooks LTs ory, M6, 12 bolt 3.73s.

I'm not trying to build an all out high HP build, just an all around good street performer with good street manners. Thanks in advance

anyone?? I'm thinking of going with an EPS 226/230 or eps 226/232, is it worth it vs my 228/230? If so in what area would the gain be? Thanks

With those nice TFS heads and FAST intake I would get a .600"+ lift cam and some more duration.

I still havent picked a cam yet. I was thinking of going with an EPS cam in the 230/234 range. But a buddy mentioned Isky cams. Is anyone running them? What do you guys think of Isky cams for LS engines. I'm getting a new daily driver so it's mainly going to be a weekend/fun car.

thanks for the info. How long did it take for you to recieve the cam? I hear stories about it taking weeks to a month.

BTW what other mods are on your build? what kind of heads, thanks

Yeah that month wait kinda sucks. I'm looking into an Isky grind since they're local within 10 minutes from my house. I'm kinda in a rush to get the cam finally since I have everything else ready for the engine/trans swap. A local shop is even willing to sponsor me on my builds and is giving me an Isky grind to my specs free of charge.
