Default Which cam for decent torque curve

I have a 2001 Z28 camaro A4 that is my DD and I would like it to get a cam that when I plan on getting heads a year later I won't have to replace the cam for a bigger one. It also won't be necessary to rev over 6800rpm just to see the most power from it.
I plan on staying NA and having True duals and a 3600 stall put on at the same time the cam goes in. I'm wanting a decent torque curve and would like the car to remain a daily driver but still like to get a choppy idle out of it if possible.
I'll be upgrading springs/retainers/pushrods/oil pump/timing chain and Cams I have considered so far are the Torquer v2 and the El Torro.

Search the dyno forums for consistent cam characteristics. You'll tend to see a pattern. Consider looking into a custom cam too, it's the same price.

tr-224 and 224R are tried and true street cams for the LS motor. Only thing better for what you are doing would be a custom grind from pred or pat g. One of those 2 well proven options would be what I would choose.

^ as said above TSP 228, VRX3, or a custom 224/228 grind. But ask predator z he's good about that sh*t you just have to let him know what the car is going to be or what it's intended use.
