350 small block camshaft?

I have a gm good wrench 350 crate engine that I am currently building up right now. the modifications that I'm doing to this engine are 1. Weiand speed warrior dual plane intake manifold 2. Holley 670cfm carb 3. 1-5/8 hooker headers 4. 1.5 roller rockers.. And possibly a supercharger

Anyways, my question was what would be the best camshaft to put on this engine with the stock cast iron heads and stock valve train?

Something like an XE262.

That "8.5:1" engine is really 8.0:1, so an XE262 is way too large. Use Comp's 12-305-2, or do something about the compression.
