help selecting cam!!

I'm looking at getting a cam and installing it when I do my swap to vette heads. What I want to know from you guys is what cam would be ideal for my set-up. I'm looking for a lowbuck option. The idle doesn't need to be irradic, and it don't have to be smooth as glass either. I've seen several types of cam types when I did a search, but none really seem to fit my near stock set-up. Like I said, I'm looking at low $$$ just needing ideas. Thanks in advance. BTW this car is also a daily driver, stock t/c. 3.27 posi

Hot cam. It's cheap, will boost performance, give you a decent idle, and works well with the stock parts, what more could you ask.

not to put my head on the chopping block but who sells the hotcam? Is it a high dollar item? I also have a change of plans, no vette heads, gonna keep the stock irons. May change valves or do porting, not sure yet. Would I have difficulty using a hotcam with stock (high mileage!!!)heads? Thanks

The hot cam is made by GM and it only costs like $170 or so.
