Default Possible cam?

I am looking for different opinions and options. I have a 1999 Trans Am, Everything I list below are the ONLY mods. I want to put a bigger cam in my car to create around 420-450RWHP while still keeping it my Dailey Driver!!
LS6 Heads/Cam/Intake
Pacesetter Headers
Corsa Exhaust
SLP Lid
160 thermostat
MSD wires

That is all

What type of cam can I get to produce this power and keep the car my daily driver?
Thanks

I wouldn't say that it would be easy considering he wants to keep it his daly driver and LS6 heads. A nice tame cam for the street, you really cant beat a 228. If the car is A4, those "Numbers" will be kinda hard since it is an auto but as stated before, don't be so stuck on dyno numbers, e.t's and trap speeds are what matters.
