Default big cam for the street?

what is the biggest cam that people have run on the street that will make good power. i have a 228-232 cam in my 370ci motor with prc heads and i was told i need a 230s duration cam to make the power that the heads can make. i was going to go to a torque V2 cam or V3 cam but the truck drives like a stock truck now and i dont want it to change to much. the cam i have now is on a 114 LSA and i need to know what cam and LSA would be good for a NA/nitrous combo.

thanks the help

the question is how big a converter you want to run.

and I am leaning toward the smaller cams making just as good numbers with easier tuning and better drivability.

Guys just want a 'big' cam
