Default what cam with tea/tfs 215s?

Just wondering what cam some of you guys would run with these heads? My tuner recommended a low 230s cam to crack 10s in the 1/4.
The car is mainly a street car with track couple times a year and is not a dd. I would like the car to be somewhat decent for the street. All mods are in sig and has ss3600 stall.

Im not in ur shoes but I have a ls2 with tfs 225's and HAD a 230/238 .600/ 604 112+2. That particular cam ran really good and made awesome torque but I have since swapped it for a 239/246 .621/.615 112+3... My tuner had a tfs 215 headed ls1 and it made 497 through a 6 speed with a 9 inch on slicks and a 240/247 camshaft.
