Default good cam choice

I have a 94 GT with BBK shorty headers, BBK off-road-X pipe, Flow master cat back, BBK CIA, pulleys, MSD (coil,cap,rotor, and wires), smog delete kit, and will be getting a 24 lb calibrated MAF sensor and injectors with throttle body spacer and 70mm throttle body and was wondering whats best cam for mysetup? I want to go with the badest cam I can get without replacing valve springs. I'm also going to replace the upper and lower intake soon.

My comp 270 worked good with stock heads but your gonna need an intake manifold at least before it does anything. I went 13.2 with intake, cam, longtubes, and 4.10's. Also I didn't touch the springs on the stock heads. I was only shifting at 5000rpm though.

You've got an SN95 5.0 so as you've probably guessed by now, a Steeda #19 is an excellent choice to keep both you and your computer happy.
