Im no cam Guru but we just put this solid cam in a 440 11.5-1 with indy heads and 1.6 rocker, it hauls ass . Someone smarter than me will chime in. All the best.

I've owned and raced a lot of different M.W. motors and cars over the years at variuos altitudes,NHRA stock to S/G, none above 5500 Ft elevation though. I would look at a solid lifter or solid roller lifter cam that had between 250 to 270 degrees duration at .050 lifter rise and as much lift as you can get Have it ground on 106 to 110 lobe seperation angle, more duration wider LSA, and install it with between 3 to 6 degrees advance on the intake lobes. I use to use a lot of Isky cams, my favoriite solid lifter grind is not in thier catalog anymore, it was thier old .590/616(EDITED) grind, they would probally make you one as a custom grind now. It was ground on a 104 LSA and it had a bunch of bottom end and would usually quit pulling hard around 7000 RPM with the bigger Stage 3 heads, intake and carbs like you have IHTHs There are a lot better cams out there now, I like and use Comp Cams and Bullet Cams for most of my builds now starting back around twenty yrs ago

Do you know what your valve to piston is,if that will limit you in any way?A roller would be nice if in the budget.What rpm do you want to go to?How are the rods?What rpm are you doing in the traps now?

I'd suggest a fast rate solid cam that doesn't have lots of duration. Lsa somewhat dependant on the exhaust system being used for track use.

Are they 286 or 518 heads? Ported or not? 2.08 intake valve? Car is raced with headers open or closed? If closed, what's the exhaust system from the headers back?

Do your heads flow much above .550 lift?You may get results from more lift sooner like .100 more by .250/.300 lift from what you have,IDK if other than a roller can do that.
