Default Heads and cam set up question

Well I have a set of stage 2 Partriot Performance ls6 head sitting in my garage waiting to go on my car. They are 64 cc heads and I think they have the 2.02 valves in them. I need to find out for sure from the guy I got them from.

I am looking to go with another cam when install these heads. I am torn as to what I want to do. I like that fact that right now my car idles like stock and it blows people minds how fast my car is. So I was debating Thunders CheaTR cam for the stock like idle. But after looking around more and more I am a little interested in something like TSP's Torquer V2. or something of that nature that will not have a crazy lope cause I kinda like the sleeper approach.

I am probably gonna have the heads flowed just so I have my own flow sheets but I was just wondering if it would benifit my to have these heads milled a little with either of these cams to bring up my compression. I am not affraid to do some flycutting to the pistons if it comes to that.

Thanks in advance.

Dan

Well, if your going to get flow sheets, you might as well get a custom cam grinded to meet the specs of the airflow. forget off the shelf cams... then youll have a killer package. if you want stock like idle, just make sure its 114LSA.

(Ever wonder why Cartek H/C setups put down alot of power? )
