Default yet another recommend me a cam thread...

hi guys i'm building a nice heads cam motor using the new dart 225cc heads and have a few cam-related questions. i'm shooting for 11:1 compression.

i need a cam that:

1. makes good HP up to 6500 rpm. i'm not dyno racing here so it's irrelevant what the motor makes at 7000 rpm.

2. will not require piston changes/flycutting to run 'x' thickness cometic head gasket to acheive 11:1 comp.

3. will handle street duty, not kill valvesprings and take some open-road racing (endurance)

any ideas?
