Default need some help with a cam

I have a 2000 T/A that got hydrolocked a few months ago and a managed to buy the engine out of a 01 ZO6 with 10500 miles for $3500 not to bad. well now i want to do a cam swap and i figured ask some one in here what would work better for my set up i did get his LS6 intake fuel rail and injectors, i already have the PS LT's, ORY and Flowmaster CTB, SLP Air Lid but still have the stock MAF and TB, i drive the car daily and it sees the track once and a while. what do you guys suggest would work better for me? thanks for your help.

TR224 is a proven cam for extra power and easy daily driver feel...proper tuning and you won't have cam surge

might want to go bigger thought, just depends on what you consider "hard" to drive
