With stock heads you can't go wrong with an MS3 or MS4. They are both large cams what will love 3.73's and a Yank stall.

i plan on getting new springs and pushrods as well. i was also lookin at the ms3 and ms4 but i think they are just too big for stock casting heads. i dont want a cam thats peak is at like 6500 thats too high to me for a stock bottom end. i know it has been done. i also dont want something that is all power from like 5k and up. thats why i have been looking at cams that are just a bit smaller then the both of those.

i am gonna drive it on the street, dont get me wrong, its just not gonna be drivin everyday. im basically looking for a cam that would match perfect with stock, nuthing thats to big that the heads wont flow enough and i wont be able to get the full potential out the cam.

I ran a 233/233 595/595 112 with bolt ons and stock heads and made 416 rwhp..and the car was a dailey driver ... I put over 40,000 miles on it in that configuration ... your cam is very similar .. you will need a good tune to make it right ..
