Default cam suggestions for a 370

had my 6.0 bored .030. My heads are being ported and polished. Any suggestions on:

what cam to use?
springs?
new rockers (if needed)?
anything else you can suggest?

thanks

I'm going with the 212/218 558/563 high lift from Comp with their 918 springs, hardened pushrods, and titanium retainers. I'm going to use my stock rockers.

I would at least go with a TR224/224@112.
My opinion.

I would go with something a little larger than the TR224. I have it in my LS1 and am thinking about going a little bigger.

I have the low-lift 212/218 in my 5.3. With the 45 more cubes you're going to have, I would go with a bigger cam.

I guess it depends on what one considers a "daily driver". I didn't want idle issues or too much lope...and this is my everyday driver. I like it too much not to drive it everyday!
