The thing about running a single plane on square port heads is that you can make a ton of power and spin to a comparatively high RPM with a much shorter duration cam than a LS6 or FAST intake equipped engine. A lot of guys have disappointing results because they try to overcam a single plane engine.
You said 4000 stall and 7000 RPM max RPM. With those parameters, I recommend that you look at a couple camshafts in this range:
226/240 111+3 on the milder side to 232/246 110+4 on the aggressive side. If your car is on the heavy side, I would pick the milder cam. If your car is very light, I would pick something more toward the aggressive specs.
As you probably know, finding a cam that is ideal for your single plane combo used is pretty unlikely. The reality is, if you want to optimize your combination, you will need a custom cam. The good news is that there are several people who can get you exactly what you need for a price that is about the same as a new off the shelf cam. If you are not sure who to call, you can look at the Q&A section of the single plane camshaft thread to learn a little about some great cam experts who would be thrilled to have your business.

Yes after I talked to him I wasn't worried about turning it harder and I already have a 8in bte converter that is close to 5500 so I am gonna give it a try I am confident in his recommendation
