Comp cams '503' is a very popular street cam, it lopes noticably and gives a nice bump in horsepower.

crane cams 227 (getting hard to find) good sleeper cam

or custom grind, AI, LE, cam motion, compcams.... there is tons of cams to choose from.

ps lose that hypertech programmer and get a real tune when you get that cam

also, by custom exhaust does that mean you have headers of some kind? if not you need to invest in some before the cam or you wont see very good gains

cam/valve train list

This ^^^ 503

Great cam, very streetable, good low end torque especially if you plan on running stock heads for awhile. If you plan on a head swap in the near future, an AI/LE package would be a better choice.
