Default What cam should I use?

I have stock heads,LS6 intake and hooker LT's with ory. My car is a 6spd with stock 3.42's and I DD it. Plan on getting gears later down the road when I buy a beater to DD. About every cam I think about I get told I need gear for. I street race in Mexico a pretty good bit,so most of my action is 2nd gear roll about 3500 kick.
Your thoughts please.

Tsp tv2 is a good all around cam that you can run with stock gearing.

every cam is going to run better with a gear, it really depends on your plans, pick a cam based on the future mods you plan to do, you dont wanna go to small and wish you would have went bigger when its all said and done, the tv2 is a killer cam, also having eps make ya a cam would be a great idea as well, that way you can get everything you want out of a cam, what do you plan on doing with thwe car besides a short term dd

Later own,way later own (2 kids & a exwife)I would like to do heads and a 9in. My car will never be a track car. I would just like to have a healthy street cruiser.
