Default cam brand/type/specs

i'm looking to put a cam in my LT1 but not sure what kind. i've been told a Comp Cam 306 or something but i forget every time someone tells me. i'm trying to get into the low 12's eventually, currently i have 285 WHP and 320 ft/lbs, this is just my next step, the one after this being, building the heads and some roller rockers. i was told a good head and cam combo can add 80 - 100 HP. so if anyone has a good website, brand or type and where it can be found or what specs i should look for when looking at cams it would be much appreciated. thanks.

Do heads and cam at the same time. Alot easier to do it all at once...Do a search on Lloyd Elliot...and you can get your numbers from there...
