Put a GM ZZ-4 Cam in it, with matching LT-4 valve springs and retainers. I ran one for years, and would run it again.

With no other mods a LPE 211 or TPIS ZZ9 cam will work well. Comp Cams with similar lifts will work well too. To get the benefit from most any cam you will need at least a mail order tune.
