what cam should i use

I'm building a 400 sbc all redone std bore and stroke,aluminum heads 190/64cc
1.6 rollers, accel ported base to fel pro 1207 intake gaskets, 30 lb injectors, afpr, super ram, accel gen 6 dfi, edelbrock tes, 3" front to back including tips, street strip 700r4 with 2800 stall, 3.27 posi soon to be 3.70.

I'm just looking for suggestions on what cam to use I was thinking the comp cams 280 xfi, or 268 for tpi.

I dont drag the car, mostly idle around town with the odd road course runs
Thanks for the help
Charles

Re: what cam should i use

Can't help you with a cam, but ... Welcome to TGO.

One small thing - not ragging you here (much), but you posted same question within 15 minutes of one another in same section. I see you are new here, so we won't smack you too hard {yet}, but please have patience. It might take hours, days, weeks to get a good answer here, as we all are just enthusiasts, and we all have different schedules, our own projects, wives, kids, dogs, and such to also attend to.

We have many motor guru's here, I'm sure a good answer (or several) will come along. Good luck!
