Just about anything besides your stock cam. It all depends on what you want to do with your car ie road coarse, drag, street racing, DD, to many variables to give you a good answer. Get with either PredatorZ or Patrick G and they could help you out.

I'd pm the cam gurus Predator Z or Patrick G and fill out a spec sheet. Either one will set you up right.

I want it to be a beast in a straight line and through town. It had a 220/220 .551/.551 114 LSA thunder racing cam before a lifter spun and scratched it to hell. I would like one with a beastly lope

Well don't make the mistake of choosing a cam based upon it's lope. Hell even an ASA cam chops. MS3s a really good, proven cam, that also handles nitrous well. It's basically a choice of going off shelf or custom, that's your call.
