358 cam upgrade

Soo, after years of running current combo, finally took on some damage. Current spec 358 cubic inch, 4 bolt block. Forged everything. Was running some gm fastburn heads with some port work. Zz409 cam. And a welded/ ported super ram. Used to snap up noce and kiss 6500, we'll used too.
im switching the heads over to some older brodix units, 2.05 /1/60 valves. ( yes piston clearance is all good) only question is does someone have a recommendation on upgrade to cam. Im Right at 10:1 compression. 1.6 rockers. Manual trans. 3.54 gear. Not super concerned with drivability as its just a toy. Just wondering if theres better options.
Thanks for any suggestions

Re: 358 cam upgrade

Comp cams will figure out and grind you a custom for not too much over a stocked unit. I think I paid $280 for mine. Told them exactly what I had, what I was looking for, and what my use case was. They sent me their recommendations and I got it like a week later.
