Default Biggest cam?

What's the biggest cam I could run in my stock bottom end ls1? I was thinking of running the 231/237 with the 3500 stall, but if I could go bigger I would like to that way I could also run it with the 402 shortblock this summer. What do you guys think? For now I will use my stock heads, possible ported ls6 head, don't know yet.
Thanks

T-rex, MS-3 the choice is yours, bigger is not always better. You need a clear goal of what you want and read JRP's sticky on cams.
