Default Need a good off the shelf cam

Im doing a bunch of motor work real soon (parts on their way) to my '92 and need to get a good off the shelf cam for it before I put it all together.
Here's what I have:
-stock 302 block and internals
-AFR 165 heads with upgraded springs
-Harland Sharp 1.6 roller rockers
-Summit roller lifters
-Edelbrock Performer intake
-AOD (soon to have a stall converter and shift kit)

I dont really want a custom ground cam because eventually Id like to do more work to the motor like a blower. I also dont really want a Ford Racing cam because Ive heard theres alot better cams out there.

No love for alphabet cams anymore? I've got an E-cam in mine, and my buddy built 2 blown motors both with F-cams. Seem to do alright off the shelf, but stillcant compare toa custom grind
