I need cam specs

I was wondering what kind of cam specs I should look for. I have the stock L98 listed at the bottom and I'll be getting a 3 angle valve job. It's my daily driver but I want something to give me a nice hp boost. Would a ZZ4 cam be too much? Too little? If ZZ4 isn't right, what specs should I look for. Being a novice, I need some specific suggestions. Thanks...

The ZZ4 cam will be an improvment over stock, but not a large one. Alot of prople have had great results with the LT4 HOT cam, I would recommend going that route.

If you plan to stick with stock runners and gearing I would not go with more duration than the ZZ4. It will keep the powerband closest to what a tpi can best utilize.
