Default Assistance with cam selection.

I have a 02 5.3 that I installed in my 88 Monte Carlo SS backed with a T56 trans, Its completely stock at the moment other then CAI and 1-7/8 Headers. I am picking a set of PRC stage 2.5 heads from a friend of mine and im trying to find out which cam would be the most bang for the buck and work in my application.

I am building the car for AutoX and Road course events and for right now I am leaving the stock truck intake on the motor. Reason being is I am shopping around for a Radix supercharger and cannot justify purchasing a LS6 intake or any aftermarket and them trying to make it work with the truck accessories and change the injector pig tails etc. But given how hard and long I have been looking for one for the right price its part of the reason I would like to H/C swap the motor to pick up more power.

Anyone have any cam recommendations that still maintains good vacuum?
