New guy needing help with cam advise.

Hello everyone, I have a 72 olds cutlass s with the original 350 that is being replaced with a 71 455. The big block is at the machine shop that has to go 0.060 over due to rust, I am waiting on the pistons n rods to be delivered. The pistons are the Icon 886 and Eagle rods. The G heads are also at the shop getting 2.07"/171" valves. I have the 2151 performer and a Quick fuel slayer going on top. The TH 350 has already been built for this application connected to a 342 posi. I am also using the W/Z manifolds and 2.5" exhaust. I have the 1.6 roller tip rockers also. I am shooting for 9.5 compression. I'm hoping for any/ all advise for a decent cam with an attitude. The car will be mostly street with occasional trips to Cordova. Thanks for your time every one. Bert.

An Erson Hi Flow 1 228/228@.050 with .504 lift on both or a TQ50, 228/235@.050 would be good choices.
Btw, that 750 is too small for that build. If you can somehow swing a bigger carb I'd do so.
