Default Cam Selection, Trick Flow 215cc Milled to 59cc

I am going with the Trickflow 215cc milled to 59cc heads with roller rocker arms but am having a very hard time picking a cam. I dont want anything to aggressive because I want a good amount of torque. I was thinking maybe a 228 cam or even something a little bigger. The cam will have a 4k stall so I am not worried about that, and yes the rear end will change in the future lol. What do you think, I want as much power as I can but not wanting to have to rev to 7k. I dont know, all opinions are welcome Thanks Everyone

232/236 .600/.600 or 232/237 .624/.598 112+3 is a great profile to look at.

The intake in my case was the limiting factor, not cam. Without a FAST90/90 or similar, stay w/a smaller cam. Personally, that 228 is probably a good choice. Those heads are highly efficient w/good intake/exhaust. I have them. Even with small cam 224/228-112+2, my car turns very low 11s.
When rear end and intake change, change cam.

A 232/236 is a great choice to compliment the small chamber heads. Thats what I run as well with small chambers/tight quench. Car drives great on the street and is very torquey down low and still feels good at 7k.
