Default 05 GTO A4 Cam Question

Yeah, I know it's an LS2, it's in the wrong section. Well way more cam info gets throw around over here.

05 GTO LS2 A4
Yank 3600
Stock 3.42 Gear
SW Long Tube 1 3/4" headers No Cats
Custom exhaust, x pipe, Magnaflow mufflers
Volant Intake
Ported Stock Intake Manifold
Ported Stock TB
Underdrive Pulley

Question is will this be an optimal cam if I end up getting the PRC 5.3L 2.5 Heads?
228/232, .588/.592 114+4 on XE-R Lobes

Also can or should I deck the heads at all. Or run a thinner head gasket

Car is DD, fun street car, it'll see the track maybe 2-4 times a year (not a priority)

TIA

I would use a 112 LSA and 2* advance, rather than the 114

You should be able to mill the heads a bit and go a 11:1 CR, just ask when you buy them.
