What cam? Need help fast.

Alright well my motor is in the machine shop right now. Getting all new bearings. Stock crank and rods. Ported cylinder heads with port matched intake. Not sure on the flow #'s on them. 1.6 s/a roller rockers (yes i know not the best, but what I have to work with). New pistons, gonna be a little higher compression due to thinner head gasket and also they are a little bit higher compression pistons too. Machinest said about 10.75 to 1. But I really NEED to find a cam for this thing fast. Dont want to do custom grind beings how I dont know the flow #'s and due to time. I want to get the most power out of this thing I can without going solid roller or anything like that. Just a regular hydraulic roller cam. Want bigger then the cc306 probly. Help greatly appreciated.
