There is no "best". Searching will provide you with better information then asking such an open ended question. Read around - See what cams people have used with their setups and the ending results.

In the end - I would figured you will end up with the BF272's or the GSC s3's.

if u buy hydraulic cams they should. solid cams are for solid lifters. Just wondering anyway, are u gona be at like 700+ whp? because if ur not and u want to actually have a normal driving car on the road id go with s2 cams or kelford 272s. anything past those is like terrible idle and for very high hp applications.
