Default Cam Suggestions?

I'm looking for a replacement cam.

Specs:
Chevy 350
462624 heads (1.94/1.5)
stock block, rods and pistons (I think)
headers
roller rockers (not sure if 1.5 or 1.6)
Performer Intake
Holley 600cfm carb

Built UpTH350 with stock torque converter
3.08 rear

This is all in a mighty little S10, street driven in the summer. I know the heads are my bottleneck but I cant afford to change them out right now. My RPM range is anywhere between 1400-4000 even though I have never hit 4k. I was looking at this Summit cam:

I suggest using a Crane 260H cam. It provides a smooth idle, amazing driveability, and LOADS of torque, witha 5500 rpm max. Bo forewarned, after doing a performance cam swap, your motor will run lean, so u will have to go up at least one jet size on the carburetor.

Happy burnouts!

Thats funny that you mention the crane cam. I took my engine apart last weekend to freshen up the top end and found a whole Crane roller setup. My whole engines problem was that I was using the stock intake and I had a fuel line that was pinched in half in two places so I had no power anywhere past 2500rpm.
