Default Cam for me?????

I am looking for a new cam with in the next week. my current mods are

lid
long tube headers + lanes X pipe
PT4000 stall
Moser 12 bolt/3.73 gears
Speedtek F1 cam (230/226 .591/.569 112)
Ls1 edit by Chris Robinson
S3 ported TB
and ill be adding the ASP pulley with the new cam

I am looking at the MS3, T-Rex, G5X3 cams as well as a few local shops. I want a big cam. The car is not a daily driver but i do drive it on the street occasionaly. This new cam will be used with stock heads. I would also like to know what type of spring need to be used, life of springs. If TSP, LG or Thunder could pm with prices or offers, it would really help.

I'm pretty happy with my TREX, except it surges like a crazy bitch at low RPMs.

I also daily drive my car

How low of RPM's? I have an auto with a PT4000 and 3.73 so wouldnt that keep my RPM's up high enought to avoid that. What do you mean by surges, i have not dealt with that on my current cam.

The car literally surges forward over and over, and I have to keep the car around 2k to keep it from surging.
