Default Need Help Choosing Heads/Cam Setup

Hey, so for my Daily Driver I'm getting a H/C package, but I want a good streetable setup. And fyi I am running sportlines, so I obviously don't mind going out of my way with my DD (driving sideways everywhere lol) so when I say streetable DD I mean somewhat aggressive.

Right now here are the other mods I have, I just sold my other car so I got a few grand to lay down into this car, but part of it's gonna be an SS hood and paintjob, so I'd like to do as much mods for about 3000$ And I need a new clutch. so maybe like 2500$ or so, and I some SFC's, LCA's, and panhard bar

Lid
Pro5.0 and LSS (m6)
B4C so it's chipped with a lower geared rear end, etc.
Pacesettter LT's, Kook ORY, Flowmaster
Sportlines, KYB's
18's

So what do most people consider a decent h/c pack? I know people will say "do a search" but maybe at least point me to some known good topics?

thanks a bunch for any help!

TR224 cam
PRC 2.5 heads

a b4c is the same as a z28, except it has a different rpo code and a painted roof.

i see you said you wouldn't mind something "aggressive"...perhaps you'd be happier with say an f13 and patriot stage 2 heads? i know a guy that is posting some VERY nice times with his setup. a proper tune will make that car just as driveable after the h/c as it is now. i think if you go much higher than an f13 for a cam that your stock 342s will become a pain. i think you'd see ~425 rwhp with that setup properly tuned through an m6 with the stock 10 bolt.

i don't know..?

cam $400, heads $900. you still might consider an oil pump, timing chain, pushrods, gaskets, fluids, seals, a tune..+ whatever i am missing.
