Default LQ4 build cam specs?

Hey guys. its getting to be that time to tear down my engine and rebuild it before it goes back in my chevelle for good. right now its a stock lq4 with 80k miles on it. starting to put together a parts list and plan my build and in need of some advice.

its a 70 chevelle with a t56 and a 4.10 posi rear. i did long tube headers and cold air intake as part of the swap and switch to ls1 intake for looks. im kind of on a budget so i want to get the most bang for my buck but not go too over bored. i want to stay naturally aspirated and dont want to change the heads. the machine shop will prob punch it out .030 over and i will put flat top pistons in it. i will prob go to an ls6 intake.

its going to be street car and occasionally go to the track. i just want it to be a really fun car to drive and beak the tires loose in as many gears possible lol

so that being said what cam specs will be best for me? thanks in advance

20540714 (227/233 113lsa, lift .584"/.584") would be a good choice.
