Default need cam help (newbie here)

So I am thinking of getting a cam but I would like to know a few things first. First off I am extremely infantile when it comes to this sort of thing, but trying to learn. I have read a little bit of the stickies, until it started looking like french to me. What I am really trying to achieve is something that will up my power but not make it insane. It isnt my daily but I use it at least 3-4 times per week for odds and ends. Im not trying to burn the track down, just something that will have a little more kick in the ***. I have been told to get a LS6 cam, they come by cheap and the other stuff, springs, rockers, etc. can be bought as a package. If yall could help me out and possibly list cams that yall have had experience with and their pluses and negatives. Again not looking for a tire melting cam, just one that will have a decent gain. Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm not an expert but it sounds like a 224 or 228 cam would be what you are looking for. Don't get an LS6 cam, if you'r going to swap give it something worth it 224 sounds like your friend.
