A Comp XE258 or XE262 would be a noticeable difference.

Have you done anything to or have plans for the exhaust? Air cleaner?

Re: looking for a mild cam

Look at these Comp Cams.

CS XE249H-12, (Mild Cam) Flat Tappet.

CS XE256H-12, (Flat Tappet, similar specs to GM LT1 709 roller cam)

CS XE262H-14, (Flat Tappet) the one that five7kid mentioned. May need to check with him on the Stock Valve Springs with this cam.
