Default Cam recomendations needed

I was wondering what cam i should run with ported stock heads and 150-175 shot of nitrous. i would like to put down as much as i can to the wheels and still be streetable and handle the nitrous looking for about 420rwhp n/a. i use the term streetable loosely but it will mainly be for the street. example i have a spec 4 and consider it very streetable.

Look at the big cams since you said "as much as I can to the wheels"

Or go custom
