Default What cam would be best for me 427 BBC

Okay after a tuff season, if you read my last posts,,, im pulling the motor down all the way for a full inspection. I need to put in a new cam. I have 14:1 SRP pistons with 1:7:1 rockers I am going to keep it a solid lifter cam. the car is a 1972 nova wieghs about 2900 pounds without driver, running a 427 BBC Pro Comp Aluminum heads 110cc w/over size valves " dont remember the size but there BIG, It has been bored 60 over running Holly 850cc carb. crank has been machined to 10:10. I am replacing the Dampner with a liquid one and having everything rebalanced just because I have the time. Ford 9" rear end with 4:56's Tranny is a turbo 400 with trans brake it stalls at 4,800 RMP's. I hope this is enough to get some good ideas from you all. I plan on replacing the lifters but my rockers are in good shape.

Car best time this last season ws 11:49 at 117 mph in the 1/4 mile at 4,800 feet elevation corrected is over 7,000 feet. I would like to get it down to the low 11's this next year.

Thank you for your comments.... :!: :!:
