Is this a roller block or flat tappet?
I like my Compxe268h cam in my very similar application. That's a flat tappet cam.

That's exactly what I have right now then. Except I opened up the chambers on the heads and used flat top pistons. six of one half a dozen of the other.
I'd recommend at least a 2500RPM stall speed if you're putting it into your '89 Camaro wit the 700R4. 4.11's will make it VERY fun to drive
A shift kit would help wake it up as well.
