Default Cam and Heads for my Cobra

I have pretty much decided on the AFR 165s for heads but I'd like some ideas/opinions on a cam. I want to keep my stock 1.7 rockers so I'm having trouble finding a cam that will fit. As of right now I'm leaning towards the Crane Powermax 2031 cam, does anyone have any experience w/ this cam? Its made to be used with 1.7 rockers, is emissions legal, and is computer controlled compatible. Does anyone know any other cams? I'm sure there are more cams out there that i am not familiar with. Thanks for the advice and knowledge...
