220/220 112 .56X 108 I/C will have good torque, be done by 6300 and take 100 - 150 shot no problem. going with more duration will primarily increase power above 6000 rpm. You could add additional lift by using the comp XE-R lobes.

I agree with Ragtop a nice 220-222 duration cam on XE-R lobes would work well.
Find out what port volume your heads are going to have OR let them know your cam choice in advance.
