Default better cam with setup?

i am going to get the following:

slp oil pump
slp double roller timing chain
asp pulley
ls6 intake
manley dual drop in springs
manley titanium retainers
manley seats
intake/exhuast valve stem seals
fms hardened pushrods

w/ stock heads, stock clutch, stock 3.42 gears, and mods in sig, i am thinking about the usual tr224. i've seen .563/.563, .581/.581, and .588/.588 with the 224/224. whuts the difference in those? Also the 112lsa instead of 114 is what i want. If there is a better cam to go with these parts i have listed above for my daily drivin street machine, please tell. it would have to be futral motorsports cam.

ps. i have the dual spring package instead of single becuz i can get a deal on them, plus i need valve seals anyway and they come in the package.

i was told somewhere around $725 to install these, is that including a tune?? becuz that's a lot just to install a cam.

don't know if any of these have advanced timing, but i want more low end, so how much advance do u recommend? how much should i put in the timing chain?

the more lift you have the more power you will get. the lower the lsa the choppier the idle will be. people have seen great drivability with bitter cams than the 224. it all depends on the tune that you get.
