Default need some suggestions on cam choice

I am installing a 347 forged short block with some stage 2 ported heads. The engine has a nitrous cam in it now with specs like this .232 .232 .598 .598 on a 113LSA. I want to install a cam that will run good and make descent power NA. This is a street car also. The combo makes about 12:1 comp. Send me some suggestions Some one told me a h cam from HPE. I am not just looking for a dyno queen cam I want some thing that actually makes useable power in a street car. I dont want to go over board with lift or duration either.

honestly that cam doesn't seem that bad.

decent duration, reasonable lift, and moderate lobe separation.

i'm not sure how much more lift you can get...it will depend on your heads.

if you want good street manners i'd look at something like a 226/234 on a 110. ~.600 lift would be sufficient.

Any one else have any suggestions? any one run a setup close to this that runs good times N.A. This set up with the cam that is in it works good on nitrous but not real good on motor. I would like it to run better on motor because I really wont be using much nitrous. I am wondering what cam to start looking for. I would really rather keep the lift under about 610 the heads have the yellow ls6 springs on them so I would like to find some thing I can run with those springs.
