Default cam change for 82

What would be a good cam choice for an 82, maybe a good roller cam ? Also I might change the heads out someday, what's a good option there ? I would like to liven the car up but don't want to mess with the drivability or fuel injection at all. I'm going to an 85 fp first.

Read this post and Bill of Material from Grumpyvette on CFI cam swap.

http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/foru...ight=BTW+CHECK

Basically add Comp Cams 1.6 roller rockers (part#114186) and the following cam choices:
Comp Cams 2030 or for higher revs 2040.
Crane 114122 or for higher revs 114132

Also do some research there on the CFI in the C4 section. It applies to the C3 CFI set-up (same engine).
