Speak to one of the vendors here and see what they can do for you. I hear Texas Speed is very knowledgeable and fair priced for parts. They have several cams that would fit your needs.

You will want a cam in the low 220's duration and upwards of 114 LSA for a "very" streetable cam. 112 LSA if you dont have to worry about emissions. It will give you more of that cam sound too. You will need new valve springs at the very least and probably many more parts, like a timing chain, oil pump, etc.
