Default In need of camshaft help

I'm changing cams and am wondering what specs I would be limited to. I'm not asking for a flat out recommendation but what choices I would have and still keep a safe piston to valve clearance.

Here's what I have to work with:
Ported 241s roughly flow 295/210 milled .020
Stock thickness head gaskets
Stock ls1 pistons
Patriot double valve springs
Stock valves

I would look for something with low 230s duation on the intake side with a 110 ICL. If you go under 230 you can go earlier on the ICL and if you go over 230 you may have to go later with the ICL. This is not set in stone but just what I would recommend from what I've seen.

Thanks, I've been looking around and something like the torqer v2 might fit the bill. It's either that or get in touch with Martin at tick and see what he has to say.
