Default Selecting camshaft

Hi guys, long time without writing.

My question right now is about my camshaft selection. First of all, I’ll give you some of the most important specs of my small block Chevy 350:

Overbored to 4.040”
Forged pistons and rods
Nitrurated Crankshaft
ProComp 58cc (210cc intake runner) aluminum heads (I´ve been reading they suck, hope you can give me some feedback too)
Weiand Team G 7530 (2800-7200)
Holley 4150, 750cfm
T5 World Class 5 speed transmission
3.73 rear gears, Hoosiers 295/50/15

This is mounted on my Chevrolet Vega GT 72.

Now I’ve got the engine dissambled because I have to pressure check the block; it has a lot of temperature problems (seems like compression goes into the water), so I want to take the opportunity of making a camshaft upgrade. I’m looking forward something in the range of 3000-7000 more or less. I like to use mechanical flat tappet cams, so I would like to know what do you recommend for my street/drag application.

Best regards and I’ll be very appreciate if you can help me.

Adiós muchachos, Cristián from Chile!!
