I have a couple "go to" cams in my collection that seem to run well and give good behavior.  As mentioned - some of the more aggressive ones can be kinda noisy- might be out of character for the car.

FWIW I would go with  276 282 224 230 .563 .563 110° if you want it be be stock "plus" sounding

I would look to  287 293 234 240 .594 .598 112° for a touch of "rock & roll"

First one would peak around 5500-5700, second around 5800-6000

Thanks so much for the replies guys.  Your experience and wisdom is much appreciated  :)  We have such good choices nowadays!

As far as a bit of noise, I don't think Tim will mind.  The current engine has an aggressive solid roller, and it's just fine.  (It's a little piece of history - built by Birdie and his crew about ten years ago!)
A careful study of failure will yield the ingredients for success.
