Go for high lift and medium duration. 272/288 and around 10mm of lift and you'll get a nice round engine. I think catcams have a nice setup for you.

Above 9.5mm of lift you'll have to make way (with a dremmel) for the cam lobes around the shim area, which BTW you should also change for shimless lifters or an underbucket shim conversion.

I'm running 296º custom Kent cams with 9.4mm of lift and the power output is 170hp@8100rpm (engine). I've put the rev limiter at 8900rpm.

It screams a lot and I don't use it for DD. Only above 5000rpm you start to feel some power.

ARP fasteners at the connecting rods is a must have, I think.

Good luck with the build!
