Default what cam for my lq9 build?

I'm slowly getting all my parts together now. My new flat top pistons are on the way along with ls2 rods. I have a set of 799 heads that will be going on it and an ls6 intake. Then it will be going in my 95 k1500. Now I need help with a cam. I want a nice choppy idle, good tq in lower rpms to get this thing goin and as much power up top as possible. It most likly won't go above 6200rpms and isnt a daily driver so it doesnt have to be the most streetible cam ever. Thanks in advace for any input.

Just a FYI, I think Lil John meant to say Bullet lobes instead of billet. Our cams are ground on billet cores through Comp or Bullet, but a Bullet grind would be 450 dollars where as a Comp grind is 400 dollars.
