Call a cam company - Crane, Crower, Isky, Comp, Lunati, etc.

You need to know:
-compression ratio
-desired RPM range
-maximum valve lift
-converter stall speed
-gearing
-preferably intake flow

...for starters.

Haha +1......asking somebody to give you a cam suggestion without really knowing much of anything about the combination and intended use is like trying to get sex tips from Bob Dole......
