Default Picking a Cam for LS1 3rd Gen (need help)

I am using stock exhaust manifolds/gutted cats from a 2001 fbody, borla ypipe and catback system. I have stage 2 ported heads 2.02/1.57 valves, with comp 918 springs. LS2 intake/fuel rail/injectors 32#, and fast 90mm TB. What would be a good cam for this set-up? (need help). Also my car is a automatic and I will be using a TCI 4000 stall, 3.42 gears. This is for my 3rd gen 85 Trans Am.

Thanks in advance

I don't think to can go with a huge cam b/c of the valve sizes. I'd think something around maybe 230 @ .050 on a 114 or something similar would be near the max. The lift isn't that important, I believe it's mainly the duration/ lsa, etc. that's the main factors.
