Default Cam for LS1...

I'm sure this question has been asked many times before, but I can't seem to find the easy answer, so I'm going to ask...

I have a stock 2000 a4 coupe. I want to change the cam so I make more power and I really want the rough idle. I don't want to change any more than I have to. I'm not trying to set any land speed record, or destroy a dyno, just enjoy my car a little more.

What cam fits best in a stock ls1 and fits my needs?

I have a Comp Cam grind # 3753/3755 +2 in my 2000 M6.
224/228 @ .050.
Nice lumpy idle. My car is fast , but, many other mods.
I recommend 1:8 rockers too with the cam I have Jesels.

A rough idling cam on an otherwise stock car with no additional supporting modifications is a recepie unreliability and poor driving dynamics.
