Default Cam suggestions?

Putting an LQ4 in my car, unsure of the weight but it'll be a cruiser anyways. Looking for a suggestion as far as a cam and converter. The car will be getting a 4L60E for whenever I finally get one. The car is not going to be a total sleeper so a pretty cool exhaust note would be preferred.

Stock LQ4
243 Z06 heads
LS6 intake
LS6 PCV (if it matters)
P&P TB w/ matching MAF
1-7/8 longtube BRP G-body swap headers
2.5" Pypes exhaust w/ x-pipe
3.73 gears

Appreciate the responses in advance.

As of now no. I may eventually mill the 317's I take off to get 10.5:1 but by then hopefully I'll have an idea of where to go with the cam
