Default cam options.

Hello everybody, I am a new member here today, but I have been into classic fords for almost 20 years. I've just never built a motor like this and need some input...
Build:
94 5.0 roller block bored .60 over
Flat top pistons with valve reliefs
Street port/polish on gt40 (exlporer heads)
Stainles steel flat face valves and 1.6 roller rockers
Port matched gt40 (95 cobra) intake
Head studs, block girdle, fluid damper, and a 75 shot.

What I am looking for is a good cam that will get me the most power, but able to drive on the street... I do not need it to be a daily driver, so power is the goal more than streetability. Thanks in advance...

Quite a bore job. Most are a modest .030"

I love the Ford Racing X303 Performance Camshaft. Excellent cam for the street and track. You could drive to the track with the A/C on and run a low 11s in the 1/4 mile time and drive it to work the next morning. Nice lumpy idle and strong power through out the range. I attached a link:

PS: that is a hell of a bore. There's plenty of blocks out there that don't need much for dirt cheap.
