Default which camshaft?

Here are the mods i have:
Lts and ORY, borla catback, ported/descreened maf, SLP lid, and stage 2.5 5.3 cnc heads
My car:
02 ws6 M6 with stock gears

I havent installed the heads yet but will be doing it at the same time i install the cam. I am using my car as a daily driver but hopefully not for too much longer, so i want to go kind of big on the cam. However i would rather not do any flycutting. I am also planning on going straight to a dyno tune after install. I have been looking at a ms4 cam. I dont plan on using my car at the drags necessarily just for joyriding. Any input is appreciated

did TSP set the heads up to run the ms4?they sink the valves deeper into the seats to gain more clearance for the big cams.what springs?do you want to change springs every 20,000 miles?what other cam grinds have you looked at?look at the EPS cams also.

Im not sure if the valves are sunk or not. Im buying the heads from someone on here. They were cnc ported by sms racing and have the dual springs and titanium retainers. I do want some street driveability but i also want it to be somewhat choppy. And no i really would rather not have to change my springs that often
