Default heads/cam nitrous ?'s

i appoigize in advance for my lack of knowledge, i'm trying to learn. but i was just curous what heads/cam would you guys recommend for a streetable driver, driven everyday, but track raced a lot. plan to keep the nitrous and just get a cam that works well with it. i am aware that there are tons of variables as too which would be the best, i'm just looking for what setup you guys are running with the bottle. i hate to say it, but i'm kinda shooting for middle of the road here. dont need the cheapest but not some exotic part custom hand made. i know there are plenty of these parts out there, i just need help in researching which ones are right for me.i know nothing about this area, i can put it together,and drive the hell outta it, but unfortunitly i dont know which parts to buy , any help is awesome. gonna stick with the 175 dry shot if that matters. Thanks a million as usual.
things like edit and proper valve train arent really what i need help on, more or less what size cam, and who's heads, what to look for when buying them.
thinking about MTI B1 or the Comp 216/220 114 LSA. or 224/224, am i in the right area here or way off. how much lift/duartion is too much for street use, basiclly the limit for street use, still giving great track use.

How big are you willing to go with rear gears (this will help with picking a cam)

thanks for the replys,
i'm was planning on running a 4.11 on 28's, but now i will have too much trap speed to avoid the 4th to 5th shift so i might have to come off the gears a little, maybe in the 3.90 range. i'l have to use the gear calc to know exactly, but i may find that 5th gear is necessary and in that case no bigger than a 4.30.
(1MEANSS)-- have you dyno'd your setup by chance?
