Default Still Looking for Cam Advice

Still havn't bought a cam for my setup, I am very nervous you may say I was thinking about going with a custom grind but I am cheap they are liek 300 bones when I can get a CAm lifter kit for cheaper.... My set up is below and I am going to have the following done within the next few months.

Rebiult 306 (8.0 Forged 8.0cc Dish Est 9:0 Compression)
All the listed mods below
Kenne Bell 1.5 L Supercharger

Just wondering if anyone has ran anything liek this or some more sugestions on cams, I was going to go with the Edelbrock Performer Cam but the lift on its almost too high.

I am painting my engine bay tonight.... wish me luck.... its been a PITA to get all the wires hid and getting the grease off my god.... I will post pics when its all done.

don't cheap out now. you have all those nice/expensive parts and it would be a shame to not get the most out of them by running the wrong cam...

God DAmn I was just sanding the engine bay and cleaning it up, it that ever a son of a bitch of a job, I worked from 3:00 to 9:30 and I got 1/2 the engine bay primed and cleaned.... This better look good when I am done or I am going to commit suicide.. now back to the cam I am going to get a custom cam and be done with it... then at least I know I am getting what I need the thing is next winter I am getting a charger and I want the cam to be custom grinded for the charger......either way I think its going to run like a piece until next winter. Had anyone here ran a cam setup for charger in a N/A engine before?
