The engine is mainly stock, RPM airgap intake, long tube headers, and 600 edelbrock performer. The car is only street driven, and my daily driver in the summer months as its not suitable for the cold months here in Canada. What Im looking to do is get some more horsepower without spending a ton of money on bottom end or new heads. I would like to change the cam to get some more lift and duration and of course put in the appropriate lifters/ springs. Any opinions are appreciated. thanks.

You cannot intelligently choose a camshaft for a motor until you know the static compression ratio. You might just as well write the candidates on little pieces of paper, tape them to the wall, stand back and throw a dart.
