Default Got a new set of heads, so in the market for a new cam

this is kind of related to another thread someone made but not really..
I got myself a set of Fox Lake CNC ported Twisted Wedges, also am ordering a PA C4 for the car in a month or so.
anyway i'm shopping around for a new cam, heres what has caught my eye so far::

Lunati- .535/.544
224/232 duration @ .050
112 Lobe Sep.
2500-6500 operating range (might be nice with the auto)

TFS Stage 2-.542/.563 (afriad its a lil too big for stock bottom end)
224/232 @ .050
112 Lobe Sep.
2500-6000 operating range

The Combo is a stock bottom end 302, CNC Ported Twisted Wedges (62cc), 1.6's, Performer RPM airgap, Quikfuel 650 carb, 1 5/8 full lengths, 4.30 gear, will be a C4 in the car (stall will be determined after cam is purchased).

Any opinions on how these cams would match up to this setup or maybe they are too big for stock piston or any other recomendations????

more info on the car or cams?

the cars basically a race car, its a tin can, has a spool, suspension etc. so i dont care about drivability. it goes 20miles up the road at most to a cruise spot and puts around the block to my friends houses but thats it.

what stall 'vertor are you looking to use......as far as cam and this being a 905 race car then you want a tight c/l in the 106-108 range..those cams you mention are somewhat mild cam.. what pistions are being used?....what are head specs? what is block decked at?

tfs stage two cam will kill your bottom end torque since you have stock bore, stroke. Mine is nothing like it was before the cam. I love the lope, and up top, the car is a beast!! you might wanna stick with a bit smaller like a E303. or, you could put the bigger one in, but I'd reccommend a 3000 stall for your auto.
