As the title says I am looking for a cam for a mostly strip setup. I have 4.10s and 28" tires gathering all my parts for th 400 swap already have 4300-4500 stall converter. I am doing headers and weight savings over the winter. I want to see how fast I can run it with cam only without cutting the pistons.

I ran the LG Motorsports G5X4. Same gears, tires, and tranny as you. Only my converter was around 5500. Ran a best of 10.38 and averaged mid 1.3X short times. No fly cutting needed with this cam.

If you have the valve seats cut a little deeper you can "sink" the valves in a little bit and not really lose any flow out of the heads if done right... and you can then mill the heads to drop the combustion chamber.
Or, just use a 5.3 head as the chambers are smaller, another cheap/good way to get the compression bump if you go that route later.
Regardless.... for the goal of a 90% track car to put anything small in would be counter productive.
