and sfc before i run hard at track

 

Look for something with a duration @ .050 around 210. and a lift around .500 would be fine with what you have. LSA of 112 would be good on vacuum. You will want a power band of idle-5200 I'd say.
Some good cam makers are Comp, SLP, Crane, GM, Accel.
I ran a Comp 08-302-8 and was pretty happy with it.
Its specs are
.480 .480 lift
210 220 dur. @ .050 lift
112 LSA
1200-5200 powerband
It ran very well with my stock tpi.
good luck
