I would at minimum do an ls6 cam.. But there are TONS of cams out there that would go unnoticed and have a VERY nice increase over both stock and ls6 cams.
The PRC 5.3s will be better. You can sand/paint the FAST intake..

Do you want the stealth sound and the look? I would get 241's P&P that would be a good stealth looking setup. Then look at a dry N2O setup that you could hide.

what are you looking to do? Stock sound, but killer power? Stock-looking engine, but killer power? I ask because you mention the FAST intake and bigger TB. So, that's not stock-looking or stealthy. Also, the stock cam is not going to make much power. I agree that, at minimum, an LS6 cam is needed, but I'd go with the old MTI Stealth II cam. Pulled hard above 3000 rpm and sounded completely stock.

Based off your mods in your sig. I personally would go ls6 heads(try to get the zo6 ones with hollow valves), ls6 cam, ls6 intake, stock tb (ported), crane 1.8 rr's, change the 3.23 gears with 3.73's, and get it tuned..

I made 381/404 with that setup and your same bolt ons only with unported ls1 heads, a cattless magnaflow and a 3.90/t56 setup.

Will idle like stock and be quiet until provoked... will also keep cam/bolt-on only cars guessing wtf just happen?!?!

You will want to run a beehive type spring good for .600-.620 lift and some hardened stock length pushrods since with the ls6 cam and 1.8's you will be sitting right around .581 lift...

Annnddd if you really wanted to be slick, and got the cash, do like WS6RED2002TA said and run a lil 75hp or so dry shot that you can hide and make the H/C/I guys wonder WTF just happen?!?!
Buut you will have to do the supporting fuel mods to run the lil sneaky shot..

Which one of these cams would work good with a set of stock ls1 806 casting heads?

My custom sleeper cam(XFI 218/230 116+2), PRC stage2.5 heads and 4.10gears has propelled my 99FRC to 11.0@125. I tell most it's bolt-ons only and they're looking for a bottle. I'd look in to the new TR cheatR v3 as it resembles my grind...The look on the Porsche guys face was priceless when I drug him, after he tells me I can't hang with his 130k 997TT
