Default cam question

First off this is the first time i have been on this site, My name is Tom and i have a 1991 RS Camaro, It had a v6 and i swapped a 350TPI/700R4 combo in it. Aftermarket parts are holley throttle body, slp runners, it has a shift kit and a high rev torque converter also. Over this comming up winter i would like to put a mild cam in the car, but not sure where to start looking. I do not plan on changing the heads this winter, maybe next winter i will not sure though. Im not looking for anything crazy. I like the cam sound and will obviously change the springs and most likly timing chain/gears while im down there. Any suggestions on where to start looking and what needs to be done in order for my car to take a mild cam? I have tuning equipment so i will not have to worry about bringing the car somehwere to get tuned.
Thanks for your time!

Also forgot to state that the engine 350/700r4 came out of a 1987 GTA, i upgraded the wiringharness + cpu to a speed density. Not sure if i have to make sure the cam has to match up to the 87 or if all cams will fit in all engines... I do know that the 87 transmission mounted speed sensor is bigger than the 91 speed sensor therefore i had to buy an 87 speed sensor and use the 87 connector matched on the 91 harness

If you plan to change the heads also, as you mentioned,my suggestion is to doall at the same time. Get the head and cam as a matched set so that they will complement each other, rather than interfere with each other. Call some of the cam and head companies, tell them what you want to accomplish and they will give you some good suggestions. Also by doing both things at one time will save a lot of duplicate work.
