Default largest possible cam with stock displacement

I have a forged 347 with 90mm fast, afr 205s, je pistons w/ valve reliefs & a 250 shot. Currently run a custom lunati 232/236 585/585 112 and want to go bigger. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Bigger is not always better..... What do you use the car for? Drag racing? Street and strip? Road racing?

What kind of numbers are you making with your current cam?

Do some research about some of the custom cam designers out there and I would suggest that.

Get a cam spec'd for your combo and desired goals would be the best solution.

You could go and throw the biggest off the shelf cam you can buy in there, and then be pissed when guys with much smaller cams actually designed around their setup are beating you.

Drag racing, street and strip. Are there any better cams for my combo that are pushing 500 HP or so N.A. I'm not sure what it's putting out now. It's never been on a dyno. I want to keep in mind the use of n2o. I was thinking something with more exhaust lift to help get the gasses out. And maybe a 113 or 114 lsa. This is a max effort stock displacement but streetable enough to use pump gas.
