i wanted more of a street cam that's too big for what i want, i still drive this on the street and not around the block but i do want a soild flattapped cam.

If you have your Mind set on a Flat Tappet Solid Camshaft . This one would work ok but would really work better with more compression . And a Larger Stall and 4.10 Gear . Larger Valve Heads would also have benefited that 355 Build .

Crower has a cam #03311, 238/242 degrees @ .050; .524/.532 lift; power range: 2250-6000 rpm; redline: 6500 plus; ground on a 107 degree lobe center. This cam should work with your present components, and the Rhoads lifters should tame it somewhat for the street. Ideally, it would probably like a little more compression, but you should notice a big difference in the amount of torque it will produce.

Well how about Comp Cams Extreme Series XS 282

Voodoo cams and CompCams Xtreme Energy cams were both designed by Harold Brookshire, a cam guru extraordinaire. He used to have his own line known as "Ultradyne," and he continues to design custom cams for folks. The Voodoo cams are a later design and are superior to the XE line of cams. They make a little more power and they are not as hard on the valve train.
