a good matched cam for that setup would be an Edelbrock Performer or Performer RPM cam, or equivalent. Id' recommend stepping up to a PErformer RPM intake also.

Unless your doing gearing and converter changes you'll be miserable with the rpm cam. Its a pretty stout cam for a heavy truck unless you build the motor and vehicle around it. Stick with the performer cam or the summit 204/214 cam.
