what cams! need help

Whats up guys so im in the process of a new build and all i need left is cams and cant decide what is best for my build and goal. I need some suggestions. My build is as follows
Built 2.4
Magnus ported head with dual springs/titanium retainers
+1mm intake/exhaust supertech valves
Id2000's w/ double pumper
40r but will be switching to 67/66 one day lol
Stock im/tb
All bolt ons.
im looking for 700+ and cant decide on cams hence my rev limit is 8k.
Cant decide on s2 or s3's or kelford 272 or 280's i dont have much exp with aggresive cams. I made 627 on stock head w/ bc 272's. I know those are very mild cams. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Btw the car will be streeted but mostly dragged. Thanks guys

I don't have personal experience but from what i've read and seen i'd say s3's. Especially if you are running a 40r. I'm guessing this isn't much of a street car? Just scroll through the dyno results and look at all the s3 threads.

I'd take a hard look at the Buschur BF272. They are NASTY!

No extra clearance.. just dual valve springs
Never heard of set of cams that requires extra clearance for cams before.

I think the S3s would work well for your set up, you can take advantage of them with the extra displacement. Let me know how you like them if you do get them.

They aren't bad on the street, most of the "manners" are in the tune.
