If you want a mean sounding idle and dont care how the car drives on the street I'd definetly go with a bigger cam than the LT4 Hotcam. Trust me though if your daily driving it you dont want to go with too big of a cam and also you have to figure out where you want to spin the motor too. You could get a nasty sounding bigger hp cam like the cc306 or gm847 but your drivability will suffer and your gonna have to spin that motor up really high if you want to get the most out of it. I say with stock heads if you want something that sound means and makes good power I'd look into the cc503 (224/230) or something along those lines. If your auto your definetly going to want a stall with a cam it sucks having a cam and the stock crappy converter.
