What are your goals? high peak HP? Fast 6spd car? etc?
If you want something that is fast at the track just go solid roller and match it to the flow numbers on your heads.

At least that. A 246/255//59x/60x//115 would be good.

What's your bore and stroke?
Static compression?
What heads? Flow?
Spring type?
What kind of intake?
What size headers?
Cats?
What kind of exhaust going back?
Desired shift points?
Desired redline?
What kind of street manners? Light chop? Hard lope?
What kind of trans?
Clutch or converter size?
Rear gearing?
What percentage of street vs race?

Without knowing all these answers to these questions, you'll pretty much be guessing at cam size.

-What's your bore and stroke? not sure it will be in the warhawk block as a 427 and i think its 4.125 bore.
-Static compression? low compression for a f1a procharger
-What heads? Flow? worldcastings ls7x heads
-Spring type? most likely tripple valve springs
-What kind of intake? it will be a cone off a f1a procharger
-What size headers? 285cc
-Cats? no
-What kind of exhaust going back? longtubes with dual exhuast
-Desired shift points? does it matter?
-Desired redline? does it matter
-What kind of street manners? as long as it drives on the street Light chop? -Hard lope?
-What kind of trans?for right now it will be on a t56 but may got to a powerglide
-Clutch or converter size?
-Rear gearing? 4:10 may be higher
-What percentage of street vs race? mostly race

Without completing Patrick's questions to a T, there is no way to spec a cam. So your guess is as good as ours.
Put the list of combo mods down and we can help, otherwise what you'll end up with is a BALLPARK cam at best.

my buddy jsut got done a 427 n/a and made 540rwhp/530tq with a 244/248 113LSA, but probably doesn't help you much, lol. Stock, untouched L92 heads and L76 intake via M6. Like Pred said though, need exact specs, him and Pat G are the ****.
