The largest cam possible will be the one that performs the worst.

The stock LT1 valves can't take a ton of lift, so somewhere around .550" lift is the max it'll take.
That being said, you also have to consider how much cam the computer can handle without need tuning, what can the heads take, etc.
Call the Comp tech line, tell them what you're looking for, and take their recommendations.
