Default need some advise for H/C package

I am looking for some help, I have a 98 MN6 with 75K+ miles, that I use only for play, street driving, never on the track, I am looking for a package that has a "stock like" idle, and good power in the mid range, not to interested in pulling the last possbile HP out of the engine, not interested in a supercharger.
Any suggestions? Most of the shops I talk to all point me to the "max-Power" set ups, that won't idle good or be easy to live with.

Any suggestions for a set of heads/cam??

I already have LT headers, LS6 intake, ported TB, 4:10 rear gears

Thanks for the help

Ported LS6 heads and a 220ish on 114 LSA cam. It will give you a good power bump and will behave just like stock

Default H/c

I would talk with who ever is going to tune the car. Aside from a difference in idle you can go with cams up to 228/232 or higher without any noticeble difference in traffic driving. Mine is very docile in traffic (see sig)and the only thing that is different is the small lope at idle(800rpm).
