Default 65 LeMans L9H swap cam???

Picking up my assembled short block from the machine shop tomorrow. Engine is a 2009 L9H with 823 heads.
Been doing research on cams and think I've narrowed it down to TSP stage 1 or possibly stage 2. Shop asked what cam i was planning and said the stage 1 would work fine. Just wondering if anyone has any other recommendations? Mostly be used for cruising and occasional trips down the track.
Plan on using oem ls3 intake and Holley Terminator x LS. Doing TKX at the same time. Thanks.

Kind of what I'm leaning towards. This is my 1st dive into the LS platform. Have done quite a bit of research so I will try and keep the dumb questions to a minimum.
