A good cam will be a bit more than that what you are wanting to spend and you will have to give more to go on. A good running cam that will idle well would be the GM LS6 Hot .550 lift cam. You will need GM yellow or blue springs to go with it. If you go above .550 lift or a more aggressive lobe I'd recommend a set of push rods to go with it also.
There are a lot of cam options, so you need to pick some more exact goals. Also, you will need to tune it to run right with the cam, so that is more money also. With that said it's best to go big now and pay once rather than tuning to a mild cam and changing your mind later to go larger and have to tune it again.

Cam True but I just recently got laid off I don't really want to make it a drag car I just want to make it sound aggressive I heard the 232 can on YouTube and it sounded OK but idk if that's good or not it was a lunatic which from what I heard they where good

A sound good cam is usually one with more overlap or low LSA or as a trick you can run a longer duration on the exhaust to keep act like it. You will spend way more money doing half way just to do it again, so find a job and do it all right is my advise.
