ok only thing left. cam!!!! i have ben pondering this question for a long time. what cam to get.

what i have

289 bock 30 over
Holley 3190 4bbl 650cfm carb
edelbrock performer 289 intake
302 ported heads (unknown years)
Hooker super comp headers
with 2 1\2 flowmaster exhaust.
bolted to a beefed up c4
with 3.55's
engine runs very well
i was thinking of rejetting the carb but didnt want to do that untill cam. what cam should i get
i have a 1500 or 2200 stall. my tach is crummy so not sure.

motor pulls to 4000 then drops. i drive in the 2500-4000 range usually. if i can get a cam past 4000 for that 90 plus freeway driving cool but if not i love that zero-sixty...:0)

any ideas what i should get. somewhat conserned about vavle to piston clearnace. also im told to replace the timing chain when you do a cam swap from stock. why is this needed and what is a durable chain? or should i go gears??

any ideas? thanks..
