I love my xe 274hr comp cam. It might be a little much for what your describing though. My car had a b cam in it before i switched over to to a stroker and i was pleased with it. There are better options out there(i.e.better technology)but i love the way the b-cam sounds

Regardless of what people say, i like the E cam. its simple reliable and still makes more HP when paired with good heads than the TFS HCI. there are many people that are making 280 HP with the gt40p heads and the E cam.

Auto transmission with stock torque converter and the other mods you listed = Ford E303 cam.
