Question cam choice 347 Windsor

Hi Fellow Engine Builder Technocrats,

Well the new Ford Motor Sport 347 short block has arrived. AFR CNC machined 185 heads are ordered with spring upgrade and roller rockers.

Time to select the cam

This motor has individual 44mm throttle bodies, 36 lb injectors controlled by M48 MoTeC. Compression will be about 10.5, pistons are fly cut to suit inline valves of the AFR heads.

Running 5 speed, diff ratio 3.93, so engine will need to rev. The throttle bodies really smoothed out the old E303 cam. Looking for rough idle, good mid range torque and top end power. This cobra is driven hard on track days, very little road use these days. Was looking at a stage two cam, 224 / 232 at 50 thou, but think I could go a step bigger to make the most of the airflow from the throttle bodies and heads. Looking to make 420 + HP without excessive revs, below 6500 rpm.

Anyone got a perfect cam for this combination?
