Anything with 210 or less duration, .470 or less lift, and 112 or more LSA. And you're going to want to change those springs to handle more lift.
If you can do your own custom chips, you could go with more duration, but I wouldnt recommend it for a 305.

Re: biggest cam...

If you change the springs away from the stock ones yes, you can go up to .525 lift. I recommend the Manley 22410-16 springs and 23652-16 retainers. I gave my duration recommendation in post #2.
