Just to give you an idea, the biggest Lunati cam you can run with that car is the Lunati #638-60101LK, but it is not roller. You have a "roller" cam/motor. I would look at Comp or Crane's line of Compu-cams. Lopey and tpi don't generally mix too well. I have heard Crane 2032 compu-cam is kind of lopey. You need to keep duration below 220/220 @.50 and lift no more than .470/.470 for a tpi car. You don't want to run too big of a cam and mess up that motor.
