I'd say Lunati's voodoo hyd ft cam are worth checking out for what you want. Have fun.
Proof again that Harold knows how to deliver what we want. For those that may not know,, Harold Brookshire (the man behind Ultradine Cams) was hired by Lunati after Holley bought the Lunati line. Harold was 'instrumental' in the design of the Voodoo line then Lunati(cs) let Harold go. The Voodoo line is (IMO) a last hurrah for Lunati (now being owned by the same corporate umbrella a Comp Cams.) The Voodoo line is heads above the Comp 'XE' line without all the clattering valve noise. It will be a shame to see Joe's business and name fade in the the history books like Crane, SpeedPro and so many others we grew up with. I guess that's a sign of our age eh!

I just did my taxes and reviewed my SS statement. Thanks to the current administration it looks like I will only have to work till noon on the day of my funeral.
