Cam size ?'s

I bought a car with TPIS/AFR heads ( http://tpis.com/ ) They are part #500-526, under TPIS catalog, engine components, then air flow research heads. My question is what cam would be a good combo with these heads? Looking for something that is good for the street but make good use of the heads, I am not scared of a little aggressivness! Thank you for any of your thoughts!

Something along the lines of 230/236, .550+ lift. Those head flow pretty decent, a hair better then stock LT4 heads. You'd see more potential with them ported.

The CC306 by compcams would be great. There are a lot of cams out there with around the same specs of the cc306 would be great as well. Just make sure you get a 112 lobe seperation. this should give you an idea of what numbers to look for in a cam. CC306 is a aggresive cam but streetable.

I'm running the hotcam with AFR LT4 heads. But may be too mild for your taste.

Really appreciate the suggestions! I was thinking about the CC306, but wasn't sure if that was to much cam? Thanks!
