Default What cam to use???

I want to do a cam swap this winter. I am trying to figure out what cam would work best for me. My car gets driven mainly on the weekends to the dragstrip/raced and cruisin with friends. I am right now staying with the stock heads. I LOVE the big cam sound but dont want something that is going to be choked out by the stock heads. Will prob. do heads next winter and want something that will make power when that happens also. What do you guys think. I have been looking at either 228r or MS3 but like i said i dont want the be limited by the stock heads for next year. I have PS lt's, tsp ory, ls6 intake, lmII, slp flow pac. etc..

Just save up and do heads at the same time? It will save you the downtime..
