Default Which cam for my setup. help please

I know theres proably a million people asking this question.
My car is daily driven
i run 93 octane fuel in it.
i need a cam so my car is still very reliable yet adds good HP
I would like to get something as like apackage deal like springs retainers etc whatever i need to be safest. Money really isnt a option
Mods are as following
SLP intake kit
SLP Long Tube Headers
GMMG catback
MSD coils
. i'm taking transmission in to get built this week or maybe next week. in that process i will be buying a yank 3600 converter.
After cam converter and trans are all back in car will be tuned.
Please share your idea on what cam you think is right for me.
I am new to The ls1 motors and would like to make some nice HP numbers

Please give me part numbers if you can

Thanks alot guys

224/228 or 228/232 on 112LSA with maybe a few degrees advance. There are so many combos out there you can go with. Start searching like crazy here.

well something like a 224/228 on a 112 +2 should give you decent numbers and still be very driveable with a decent tune.for a dd i personally wouldn't go any bigger than that but some people have higher tolerances than me.the tune is key on driveability.

+1 for the TR230/224

PREDATAR-Z talked me into it, as i was originally thinking about just going with the 224/224. Couldnt be more happier with the 230/244, its makes a ton or torque. i made 300wtq at 2900 on a STINGY mustang dyno.
Thanks again PREDATOR!!
