Default Question about head and cam combo

Ok here is the scoop. I have a 90 gt bone stock with exploder intake. I reciently broke a valve guide on my stock e6 heads. My question is I found some e7 heads with new comp cam springs and retainers for $250. Is that a good deal? Well I want to see what the best cam would b for what I will have. Looking for max duration and lift I should go with.
Thanks

Well i have changed paths as i got a smoking deal on some gt40-p heads. I have bbk unequal headers which will make changing plugs hard but thats ok with me. Now with these heads and a stock short block with gt-40 intakes what cam should i go with?
