The OEM did a pretty great job designing a cam for this purpose !
I would be looking for an aftermarket cam with similar specs

LT4 hotcam for something that gives up overall topend for a reliable, valve spring friendly setup.
Should pull well at 6000 rpm and have plenty of vacuum for power brakes.
It's not going to make the best power but will put a smile on your face with its good manners and lowend torque.
I'll ASSume you have around 9.5 to 1 compression with those heads.
