Need Cam advice

I have a 84' Z28 H.O. L69 with a 700R4 and 3.73 open diff. I am going to replace the cam, add some headers, high flow cat, flowmaster catback. My question is about what size cam should I get to give me a decent amount of performance but is still 50 state legal (I live in Cali.)

My current cam is stock and the size is:

Lift
Int. Exh.
.403 .415
Duration
Int. Exh.
.202 .206


Lobe
Separation
114.5


Rocker
Arm Ratio
(115/-114)

Read my post under "Horrible Gas Mileage", my LE9 305 runs great pulls much harder than stock. 100 hp better @ rear wheels than stock.

Look in my sig.

Plenty fast and just passed smog for the 3rd time. The whole setup would be legal in Calif. too!!

I'm a big fan of the Crane 2050 Compucam. Great power & driveability, runs clean (50-state emissions legal with a carb'd car), and with headers and new valve springs, it'll really wake up that engine.

Larger intake valves and some basic porting would also help a lot.
