at that level of mods youd benefit from lifting the head first and getting it sorted.

after that then a Piper 285.

get a properly modified head...

I do them you know....:-)

No honestly, get a good head from someone reputable with track proven results.. then it'll be sorted for when you strip the engine to0.

What are you stripping it for?

With those mods on that engine i would concerntrate on something else rather than a cam, you need to do other mods to get the most benifit from a cam and you wont get an uprated one to make it smooth and easy to drive.
