Default cam question

I am wanting to upgrade my cam. I have slp headers/exhaust/ported tb/ lid/ and im wanting to get a nice cam. I'm not looking for a massive cam, but soemthing that'd give me some power and would still be suitable for a daily driver. I eventually am going to upgrade my heads and everything. But for probably atleast 6 months they'll be stock ls1. What cam would you recommend??

id go with the 224/228 600/600 lift on a 112 lsa for your dd. going to a cam that is 230+ wont be worth sacrificing driveability for the very small hp gains

none of the cams listed will require changing heads. just springs and pushrods (recommended).

but when you DO change heads they will really shine due to the added flow.
