Default Best cam/lifters/spring combo?

I think I have a bad lifter. Since im going to tear into it I want to put in a nice cam with a nice lope sound. What type of cam and lifters/springs and all do most people run? Im looking for sweet exhaust sound and the extra hp. Im runnin 11.76 in the 1/4 now. Thanks.

mostly just gears, suspension, roll bars, subframes and things of that nature, rockers, TC, shift kit, tuned, headers, no juice.

anyways, Im really lookin for a cam/lifter install kit that has everything you need if anyone knows of one. Need to get it asap.

I'm having a fairly hard time understanding how you run 11.76 with just bolt-ons. Anyhow, I'd get some comp replacement lifters and how big a cam do you want. Is this a daily driver. I'd get something from Futral.

I have Comp R lifters, they make more noise than the exhaust.

Maybe the preload on those Rs needs some attention.

Comp R's seem like a lot more trouble than they are worth. Plus you have to have adjustable rockers to go with them. They aren't cheap either.
