Cam suggestions, please!

Ok, here's the plan:
*rebuilt 355
*corvette alum heads, ported, polished, oversized valves, 2.00 in, 1.60 ex
*Accel Superram base
*edelbrock TES
*3.73 gears

What cam should I get? I'll be getting a set of roller rockers, either 1.5 or 1.6 depending on the cam. I've been told that Comp 305 cam will work well with my setup, what do you guys think? Any other ideas/recommendations?

if you can afford it, I would go with one of the lingenfelter cams designed for the SR and vette heads. They are like 211/219 duration and .525 lift.

The ZZ9 from TPIS and this cam (if you get it ground on a 112lsa) would also work. http://www.compcams.com/base/process...?Known=xr270hr
The comp is pretty stout. Its close to a hot-lt4 cam.

You will make the most power with the LPE 219 cam. Get your lower intake ported or extrude honed also, to take advantage of the cam.

With the 355&3:73's you can go higher on the duration and still have tq so I would reccomend these.
ZZ4, melling MTC 2, melling M22210 <-- old lt1 cam just under a different brand, comp 270H almost same as M22210.
