Go for a cam that has no more than 225° @ .050, more lift and duration on the exhaust side, and a Lobe Separation Angle of 112 or less. You will need to do some careful tuning on it especially in regard to the timing curve because of the required milder convertor. I would look for a factory hi-stall, or something aftermarket in the 10.5" that brake stalls at 2K and flashes to 22-2400.
