Default Best Cam / rocker For stock motor w/gt40x?

Well thanks for the help figureing out what kind of aluminum heads i have. Now i need to know the best cam/rocker combo for around $500. I want to make sure it has enough piston to valve clearance. I already orderd my pushrods timing chain and ford racing roller lifters

Also what other mods will be nessary for me to reach high 12's low 13's

Here's what my car has so far (only owned 3 weeks so not much done)
1995 cobra (60k org miles)
3:73
CAI
x-pipe no cat's & flowmasters
gt40x heads 64cc (not installed yet)

I can't tell you what the best are because everybody thinks theirs is always the best. I can tell you that I have the FRPP E-303 cam and their 1.6 roller rockers. This was the combo recommended to my by their tech line when I was putting my combo together. I won't have any dyno numbers until January, but it sure feels potent. FRPP's estimate was 330-340 at the flywheel with my combo. We'll see.

Like wythors said, 'best' vary on who your asking. I using the same heads as you with a B cam and 1.7 cobra rockers. Not sweating the smog regs and it gives me the power band I wanted.
