Default Looking for some Cam advise

Have a stock 85 L98. Going to be doing a swap to a carb on it here in the future.
Plan right now is while I have the intake off to go ahead and put 062 Vortec Heads on it.
Will have the spring seats ground and new springs added.
Edelbrock RPM air gap intake.
And 650 Holley.
Headman headers.

My thing is I dont really know which cam to go with.
Figure if I have it this far down I might as well put a cam in it also.
Sure its a stock lower end but it will work for a while so I can get started on my 383 build.

So hoping some of you might offer up some opinions on a cam.

The plan for the car is just a fun street car that will go to the track a few times a year.
So give me some ideas fellas.

TPIS ZZ409 is a good cam for a 383, best bet may be to get something from Summit cam in the same specs. Hope you have good luck.
