I would look at the Comp Cams list and go with something in the .510 lift, lots of power and will lope great, work super with stock components, and don't forget the lifters for it.

Look into comp xe270 hr-14. I went a 13.2 with just a intake manifold, that cam, longtubes and 4.10's. Makes some decent power with stock heads.
