Default Best cam for stock bottom and 5.3 heads?

Im using a stock 02 LS1 bottom end and Im wanting to go with the TEA stage 2 5.3 Heads. Someone mentioned that Id probably need to Flycut my pistons. Im looking to run all motor no Nitrous or Turbo etc and get the most horsepower that I can harness. Running LT headers etc with the LS6 intake. What would be the wildest cam I can run to get the most HP without my valves dancing on my pistons? ANy suggestions ..pointers etc would be greatly appreciated!!!

I have a FM 13 with AS 5.3 heads that are milled for 11.2/1 compression. Didn't have to flycut pistons. These heads have a 2.02 intake so that gives you more room then a 2.05 valve. I made 434/400 to the rear wheels with longtubes and 90/90. Car is a M6 with a stock 342 rear.

I will be, but the heads are being done like one valva a week (Long story and no problem, the guy told me he was busy)

I've got an F14 and PRC gold kit waiting for my cutoms ported 5.3 heads (2.02"/1.575")
