Default cam size choice

This coming winter I want to do a pretty decent sized cam in the ls2. My questions were who here is running a cam on the street and still have good driveability? I want the biggest possible without it being annoying to drive. This would be my first cammed car so I don't know own much about sizes. And would It be necessary to do heads right away? Or even a clutch?

What are your goals for the car?

Do you want additional power under the curve or are you solely focused on additional power on the top end?

Is this a 'street only' car or are you gonna race it?

The goals are to have a fast street car with the occasional track days, 1/4 not road course but I'd also run new heads/intake as well down the road
