Default best cam for stock heads

Hey guys, just tryin to figure out the best cam to purchase for use with my stock heads and valve springs, etc. I was looking at a Thunder Racing 224/224 112 LSA but i am not an expert, so I thought I'd get a little "expert" advice.

You have to replace the valve springs and pushrods with nearly any cam. Both the TR220 and TR224 are great cams. I chose the milder 220 because I don't want to rev it so high, but the 224 is very streetable and powerful. Thunder has a kit with everything you need.
