Default Help choosing cam

i just picked up a set of ported lt4 heads and intake. what would be a good cam to match. not a dd, looking for a cam that likes nitrous and a very choppy idle. i had the 306 in my last lt1 and i liked it alot but i keep reading bad things about it. any and all help is appreciated.

You'll need to know how much you plan to spend and what rpm range you'll be wanting to make the power.

What valve train are you running now?
