I'm running their 6064AS in my 408 with the EDM lifters they sell. With no tuning it has ran 6.61 (1/8) in a 3300# 69 Dart on pump 93. This is the second cam I've had from them and both have ran strong. The first was a hydraulic in my 340, it ran 7.23 in the same car.

I ran an older HEV6876AS in my 340 with iron heads.
I picked the wrong grind. Went 10.74 @ 124.73 MPH

I ran the 256/262 in my 440. Great cam, just make sure you use their springs or what they recommend.

internet recommendations for camshafts usually results in disappointment. Cam selection should be based on head flow, compression, trans/converter, gearing, car weight, intended usage, etc. Call a cam grinder and give them all your car specs for a more accurate recommendation.

Is your engine assembled and you want to make a cam change or is it apart ? If it's assembled then an HTL is not a good idea unless your lifter geometry is absolutely spot on and/or your lifter bores are bushed .
