Stock 400ci Cam Recommendations

My Charger has been at the shop awhile to figure out why the car didn't run good. The guy said that there was a "racing cam" in the motor and that is why it was running bad. Also the engine came alive at higher rpms which was another reason to believe this. The engine is a basically stock 1973 400 ,that the previous owner said was rebuilt, originally with a 2bbl but now with a 670cfm 4bbl, 452 heads, 1970 383 intake, headers, 2.5" exhaust with an h-pipe. I have around 2.47 rear end gears in an 8-1/4" rear and a stock 727 with most likely a stock stall converter. That being said, what cam would you guys recommend I put in the engine? The car will be street driven, possibly daily but I would also like it if I could get a little bit more power.
Thanks,
Dan

RT, the k54 comes on a 112* lsa but either the 110 or 112 would work fine in that application. A 110 would have to be custom ordered though.  :yesnod:
