Default Modding my Corvette



Well Christmas came and went now i have enough money to get my cam in and tune my car. Mods to my car right now are CAI and full exhaust. I have done a lot of research with the cam i want. My goals for the next year are just gears and torque converter so i knew i couldn't go with the cc306, and it seems the cc503 is my best option because im leaving the stock heads on there.
Which one is the best, and do i need to get 1.6 rr with any of these? (sorry im a newb here)

224/230 duration, .536"/.544", 112lsa
224/230 duration, .560"/.598", 112lsa
224/230 duration, .602"/.622", 112lsa

I want it to be streetable "enough" to withstand but mean as hell when it comes to sound cus my performance with the gears and conv. will put it at where i want. With L/T and o/r x-pipe dumped which will give it the best growl but will still give me streetable use.

By the way here is how my car sounds now (minus the Theta Chi badge)
