how big can i go with my cam?

i have a 87 camaro irocZ28 5.7L TPI. currently i have a mild edlebrock torqer cam(not sure what size it is) and stock tpi. i also have world product sportsman 2 heads with the 72cc chambers WRL-012250-2. soon ill be looking at getting a new holley stealth ram and a twin cold air intake so i can grab a higher power band. I'm looking for a really lopey cam to go with my set up can anyone reccomend a good combonation to go with the holley stealthram and the sportsman 2 heads?

Re: how big can i go with my cam?

If that's a stock engine, 72cc heads will hurt your compression. Why would you put an Edelbrock flat tappet cam in a roller blocK???

As far as the famous "which cam" question, do a quick search... cams have been talked about extensively.

its an older block passed down through some generations so the heads were bad i had those laying around and my brother had put the cam in a few years back, i dont think this block was ever a roller block.
