Default To cam or not to cam this is my question....

I have a bone stock 5.3 with 86xxx on it. I am about to stick it in a truck and was wanting to do a cam swap for something that will work with the stock components and give me a boost in power and a real aggressive idle any Ideas?

P.S. I also want to put a small kit on it as well. About a 150 or smaller

A properly setup cam will most definitely gain you some power, so if it's in the budget then yes do it.
