I'm no expert so wait for others opinions, but seems that this cam works very well with 305s. Check www.jegs.com or give them a call, sorry I don't know the part # right now.

The Crane PowerMax 266 (.440 and .454 lift) is excellent.

Selecting the right cam depends on your overall combination and intended usage. If your car is all stock internally,factory rear gear,and its a daily driver I would go with:
Crane 114122 204/214 dur @.050 .423/.446 lift
or
Comp XE250H 206/212 dur @.050 .432/.444 lift
If you had better heads,exhaust,gears,etc.. You would benefit from a larger cam.

Some people like the XE 262, while others say it makes for a lazy bottom end.
