I agree with big_mike on the 395 cam (GM 14097395) used in the Ramjet 350 and the 383HT crate engines and less than $200 at Jeg's and maybe Summit. It has a little less lift than the Comp listings above but if you want a little more lift and you're still running stock self guided rocker arms, you could add long slot 1.6 ratio rocker arms listed for a 1989 Corvette. If you're running vortec heads you'll need to check retainer-to-valve seal clearance with the 1.6 rocker arms though.
X2Funny. My experience with LSA, cylinder pressure, RPM, idle, etc, is nearly the exact opposite of what you posted.
