Melling MTC-5 is also an option, a lot cheaper one too.

A better option in my opinion is call Delta cams and get a 260 grind for about a 120 bucks shipped to the door It also will come with a lifter kit. You can run that Cam on stock Springs and stock valve train .

With the stock tune i wouldnt go bigger then a 260 cam. While you are in there you should really port the heads out a bit. Exapecially the valve bowls.
