Default what cam do you have and do you like it?

here is the problem guys. I had the set up in my signature. The cam (can't remember exactly) was a decent size crane feeding thru the 69 302 heads (1.90 1.6).

New combo was suppose to be ported e7's, performer rpm intake, stock h.o. cam, and left all the rest the same, other then the fresh bottom end. When I wired the engine up under the H.O. firing order, the car ran like sh*#, but it ran. Switched it to the standard 302 firing order, purred like a kitten. So now I am thinking my fresh engine, actually has a truck cam in it, cause I cant figure what other roller 302 would run the old firing order.

So that brings me to the next question. My buddy says I can have his h.o. cam, but I am thinking if I am gonna switch it out, might as well go BIGGER. He may have an alpha cam too. So, b-303, e-303? suggestions are more then welcomed, keeping in mind this car has a set of edelbrock rpm heads (waiting) that I plan on running in the spring. The car has a stronger launch on the bottom end now, but the mid to upper range does not feel one bit stronger. Just for info, the TC in the car with the old combo was rated at 2800 rpm.
