Default cam only set up

well guys. i sold my 5.0 mustang, so i have a little money to play around with. I wanted to know what is a popular proven cam for a Cam only LS1 set up? My goals are to have a decently quick weekend car. Existing mods are Edelbrock Longtubes, Non-catted Y, Cutout, 3800 converter, SLP ram air setup, and 4.10 gear (28 tall tire). My boss said he has a hook up on some stock LS1 heads with low miles on them off a camaro. i dont know any other specs on them yet hes susposed to tell me today, but i figured i could grab those, and have my buddy hog port the **** out of them, and polish them. also I will be running a F.A.S.T. LS6 intake. So Any Suggestions?

The TR224 would probably be a good place to start.

228-232int. / 232-236exh. .585-.600 lift on a 112lsa. the motor will want more static compression in it if you choice either of these 2 cams, so either mill the head a little or use a thinner head gasket.

Another vote for the F11 but only because that's what I have. You can't go wrong with the 224 either.
