Default Whats a good cam for my set up?

I am shopping for a cam right now because I just sold my other cam. What I have is a 94 351 bored .30 over to a 357 with 10.1 compression forged kieth black pistons. I have World products sr Jack Roush heads that are 200ccwith 2.02/1.6 valves and the heads have been ported and had all the nasty casting flash out of them. I have a ported typhoon intake, 70mm throttle body, bbk 351w swap 1 3/4 headers and all the rest of the bolt ons I also have 3.73 gears. I just sold a x303 cam that was 5.42 lift and 286* advertised duration and im looking for alittle more camand isdual pattern.

+1 on the custom cam...that will always be your best bet (that is if you have the extra cash)

Judging by your parts money is somewhat of an issue, Id look into the trickflow cams, there dual pattern and wont break the bank.

the xe series from comp cams are pretty good cams, you can get a whole kit for about 800 dollars that has the cam lifters double roller timing chainand some other stuff. or you can get the cam alone for around 250 i think. talk to stangbanger i think he runs one of the xe series cams.
