Default Cam Options 5.3LM7

Lookin for the best cam to put in my 5.3 one thing that is holding me up is i will be driving cross country in 2 months from Cali back to Tx. during this haul i will be towing a Street bike and an Eclipse. Should i Wait to cam it till im back in Texas or just do it before the long haul?

Whats the best cam for Steet performance?
