cam help plS? L98?

Hey guys!

Well my engine is at the shop getting all rebuilt and they asked me what I want to do with the cam. I'm working on a budget here but they said for an extra $100 (canadian) they can step the cam up a bit.
Now the heads are being fully rebuilt to stock specs....

if I get a mild cam installed, won't it screwup the heads in some way? Could I get a cam now, and wait until next year to get a port/polish done to stock heads?

I'm on a pretty tight budget here I work hard for my money. But since engine is out should I choose a little more radical cam? What would you suggest? I dont want anything that will mess with the computer too much. I'm not looking for huge hp but i wouldn't mind getting 300hp out of this motor, and have reliability as well my breaks are going to need to be done soon so I need to set aside $$$ for that as well.

If your old cam is worn get a new with close to the same specs a little more lift would be ok.
