Default Heads and cam help?

I have a 01 formula with simple bolt ons. I was thinking about buying SPeed inc's heads and cam package. I was thinking about going with a 224/224 .581 cam. I.m not sure if i should go with 59cc heads or 64cc heads? Also when i do the swap I plan on to replace oil pump, rockers etc... How bad do you guys think it will be with a stock stall. Im hearing it will be the worst move keeping the stock stall, but for right now i want to keep the converter stock. ALso i do alot of highway driving, with everything new do you guys think it will be reliable?
Any feed back would be great as for I am new at this.
Thanks

You have to use the Search on these questions.
Alot of them will be answered for you, and even give you MORE advice than a new post.
BUT
FWIW get some of the books for Ls1's , I saw some on ebay, there are 2 especially, they have tons of pics, and a step by step to doing a cam install.
I think... how to build hi performance Ls1 s one title.

64cc is safer only because of piston to valve clearence.
If you 59cc you may have to notch the piston.
But lets wait and see maybe someone here has done the
59cc 224/224 .581 by the way whats is your LSA(Lobe Seperation Angle) and at what degree are you going to set the Intake Center Line

I will definitely pick one of those books. I talked to speed inc and they suggested 64cc heads for my mild performance application. Thanks for your time.
