5.3 cam choice

i am collecting parts for my swap and im still not sure of of wich cam to get after alot of research here and ls1 tech if anyone can give some advice i would appreciate it. so far it seems people recomend either zo6 cam, ls9 cam or a variaty of aftermarket cams. If anyone has power numbers for a given cam that would be great. the car will be used for street strip action with a th350 and the stock 3.27 geared rear end. I plan on having it tuned and im looking for budget based recomendations on cam and springs. Thanks
