What lift for my cam???

At what lift do AFR 205 heads fall off at. What I'm trying to do is figure out what lift would be good to go with my AFR 205 heads that have been milled to 62cc. The cam specs so far are 230/234 110 LSA. I'll be ordering the cam after Christmas, but need to figure out what lift to go with. From what i have read, you don't want the cam lift to be above what the heads flow. Is that right, or do I have it all mixed up? Any help would be great.

The car is not a daily driver; drive a few times a month, but will see some track time once all is finished. I guess what I'm asking is this; would anything over .600 even be worth it in regards to horsepower and torque? Where do the AFR heads fall off at?

Yeah, it's going to be the stock LS6 intake until I get a FAST. Any suggestions. Lower .600's sound good?

Awesome, what kind of numbers you making? Did you have to flycut? This cam will go with my AFR heads, milled to 62cc. I chose the 110 LSA so I'll have good power under the curve and give me that rough ildle I want. You have any idle clips of your's?
