cam suggestions 355 180cc heads..

Help... I am looking for some good replies of folks actually running something close to this...

355 iron eagle 180cc heads... 202 165's .510 valve clearance max... (on springs...)

no roller if possible unless its a retro setup... she had a com cams 364-4 she died top end more likely due to factory headers... I new it would... wrong setup...

I will add good headers... she has dual tbi's stock bore and dual VFPR and can run and injector size.. Renegade intake adding... will be adding 3.55 and 2000-2400 stall max.... setup with what she needs just looking for a good cam that is powerful and has a good range 1300-5600 range maybe higher but want about 350 good hp and good torqe not a super torque monster as the 364-4 comp cam was... she broke the flex plate area aournd the bolts...

block and all could hanlde 500 but not looking to go crazy looking for a smooth power band setup... have EBL, can run 25psi no issues... 700r4
dual exhaust with dual thrush old school round pipes...

would like some thump at idle can tune for it no problem...
I have 1.6's good ones and would like to use if possible was told by a few I should run duals 1.5 intake and 1.6 exhaust because of large valves...

Ok the bad sort of heads are regular iron eagles I will be mild port polishing and they are 72cc... compression will be 9.0 to 8.9 range per calcs...

let me know looking for proven setups that are close to this...

may go retro roller if you talk me into it and why...

thanks the cam guys keep saying RV cams? Hmmmm really...

Re: cam suggestions 355 180cc heads..

I am thinking of changing the build to a 383.. stroker, this is a stock 2 bolt block in good shape... I was told and the Crossfire folks of the day said... the blocks good for 400hp.... going this way and all the other parts... heads headers I think I may be better served. I can get -5cc pistons on the 383 kit that will put them at 9.015 in the hole... I think thats right? or is it 9.15 anyhow the stock block is at .025 down in the hole. if I run the 383 crank and those pistone that should put them down or a bit higher than the stock 350's... this should give me a much better quench and a better CR... 9.?'s or so.... also I think I can go a better cam profile and less lift and all and have a better running motor... maybe even retro roller and have the 350hp all day and a smother rpm range over all 1200-5600 range.... so anyone running a mild 383 strocker TBI with about 350hp... what cam? Any suggestions....
