Default LS2 power adding options

Sorry for another cam question but I've been reading till I'm blurry eyed and I'm still unsure of what I should do so I need to tap into the plethora of knowledge here.

1) What is the biggest lift cam I can run on the stock pistons? I plan on keeping my stock heads for now but change my push rods and valve springs. I need it streetable but it will be mostly track duty.

2) What are the recomended bolt ons for the max hp the stock bottom end and heads will run? I'm staying FI so I was thinking fast intake and a tune. The engine is sitting in a backdraft cobra track car so no smog, 1 7/8 headers and short side pipes along with ram air intake is done. I also need to stay naturallyaspirated.

3) I will be staying wet sump for now so I need a decent oil pan.

thanx,
chris.
