Keeping in mind there is no such thing as the one perfect cam, I'll throw one out there for your bench racing consideration.

I'm assuming you're running a 5 speed tremec with a .82 rear, and diff ratio of 3.54.
The common conservative hyraulic cam options seems to be around 242/248 LSA 112

Typically good for about 550hp/550tq +/- (depending on the dyno, and preparation of intake and heads) that equals around 450hp in an SPF with sidepipes, and has "mild" street manners.

Mild is a relative term. It wont be Prius mild, You'd still have that lopey cam at idle relative to most all cars, but be nowhere near that choppy sounding idle that feels like it wants to stall or cause you grief.

I'll caveat this though - I've never built an engine, Brent has. He may have even built mine too. Having read many of Brent's posts in the past, I'm guessing he may even suggest a tighter LSA and slightly higher @.050 numbers too.
