Default Laymans terms for cams options please.

I have read alot about cams on this site. Ive seen alot about the TR224 and TR228 all the way up to the Trex. But honestly its still over my head. With a 2002 Z28 6-speed that put down 329 hp and 352 rwhp stock, I have since put on the texas rumbler X-pipe true duals with long tube headers. This is my only eng mod so far. My ultimate goal is to have a mean lope and a daily driver that just sounds BADASS. I will also add a better intake system and thats it. No juice or turbo wanted. What cam would give me very aggressive loping and a wide RPM torque range without having to add anything else but the springs?

I dont want to wish later, that I should've got sometning a little bigger.

I might have mis-typed. I have long tubes and stock intake manifold. I dont intend to change the intake just the airlid and MAF someday.

230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA

Thunder Racing Custom "Reverse Split" Camshaft - 230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA 2200-6800 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. Automatic cars require computer tuning and it is recommend for optimum results on manual transmission cars . Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended

I have a 2002 Z28 M6, with bolt ons and a cam. Runs very well.
