Just remeber you want to support the heads with a really nice valvetrain and good supporting mods.

does llyod have a website? i was floating around on LT1.com but couldn't come up with much. i was taking a liking to LE1 and LE2 setups. I have the basic intake/full exhaust bolt ons, considering doing a 52 or 58mm throttle body with the build up.

What do you want from the cam? Torque or top end power? do you plan to run the car at the track?

Auto with stock converter that can be changed of course. stock 10 bolt with 3.23's. looking to do a 12 bolt with 3.42's or 3.73's. i do dd it so nothing wild. i would love to run it, but i don't think it will be very often. with the cam, i don't want to be making most power above 4500 cuz its a 90,000 mile motor. probably want to get the low to mid range torque.

I hear a lot of good things about the LT4 Hot Cam, with ported heads they seem to be a very common upgrade for stock block LT1 cars and make reasonable power.
Whatever you do, just make sure you do your homework, and have all the supporting mods to go along with it to take full advantage of the combination. I let Josh @ JS Performance do the work with my motor and I think he did an awesome job building me A killer combination that stayed within my price range as well as goals.
