Any specific camshaft/intake/carb setup recommended?

The engine is a 1993 SBC 350 out of a Pick-up. Right now, I am converting it to a carb set-up with a Elderbrock 600 CFM carb and Elderbrock Performer RPM intake. I'm also adding a set of headers. The rest of the engine will remain bone stock.

There are so many different cam profiles available, I'm not sure which one to get!

Once again, any help is greatly appreciated! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If you are running stock heads, you probably have pressed in valve spring studs. You'll probably want to stick with the stock springs unless you upgrade to screw-in studs, but if you're thinking of pulling the heads to do that, you might as well think about going to aluminum heads anyway.
