On your deal with the 4 speed I would put a nice sounding and running cam in it, do you want a hydraulic flat tappet lifter, a solid flat tappet or a hydraulic or solid roller lifter cam?
If you want a hydraulic flat tappet lifter I would use either the Comp Cams XE284H grind or the little bigger XE285HL or the smaller XE275 HL grind I would install them all at or near 3 to 5 degrees advanced (nearer T.D.C.) on the intake lobe centers also
You need to know I'm a drag racer and I always want to beat all the street cars guy, not a show and shine guy
