did the OP ever actually state what he wants out of the build? I'm probably expending too much effort here, but if you have a true 9.8:1 with J heads, and only a 2500 stall w/3.73 gears, I'd probably go with the suggestion of a dual pattern cam in the 230s @ 050...like a COMP XE, Lunati Voodoo, or possibly a Howard's...if the rockers and springs are up to it. But, IIRC, he mentioned running stock rockers...and if seeing the experiences of others is any indication, those have a habit of going to church with too much cam (holy rockers, ha ha)...
...then again, I'm likely putting too much effort/thought into this.
