Default Carbed 5.3 cam question

Im building a 69 nova with a carbed 5.3 and want to know what the best cam would be. Stock long block, vic jr intake, msd 6010, th350 4000 stall, 3.73's, 750hp carb. Its just going to be a car to drive to the track and maybe some local gatherings. I am leaning towards the ms4 cam after having a ms3 in my TA. Any opinions?

I would think those would be WAY too big for a 5.3, I've got a 223/223 .636/.636 on 110+2 for sale if you're interested. $375 shipped
