Default New Cam Suggestion?

I currently have a tsp 231/237 and P.P. stage 2 5.3l heads and some forged pistons with -2cc valve reliefs with all supporting bultons and wanted to swap out my cam for something a little bigger. I plan on switching to a 90/90 setup and i am looking for a cam that is n20 friendly and will make more power than my 231/237. I am looking for power and wanted to know what options i have.

What's the lift at the valve and the LSA? Do you have flow sheets for the heads? I can design you a custom cam or just give you some options for a off the shelf cam.

The specs on the cam are 231/237 .598/.595 112+2. I am looking for a cam that will not give me any p/v clearance issues but want it to be as big as i can get for my -2cc valve reliefs and 5.3l heads and is n20 friendly.

the heads flow:

lift 2.02 intake 1.60 exhaust
.100 67cfm 61cfm
.200 133cfm 108cfm
.300 194cfm 147cfm
.400 242cfm 183 cfm
.500 274cfm 205cfm
.550 290cfm 213cfm
.600 296cfm 220cfm
