190cc heads are about the biggest you want to go on a street bound 355. A 210cc head would kill your lowend completely and hurt torque up until around 4000rpm. The 60103 would be an excellent choice. It will make good power throughout the powerband. Your other choices would be the 60104 or if you want a comp cam the xe274. Any of these cams will like a 2500 stall and a 3.73 gear. I would get a shorter tire. Something around 29 inches or so. The bigger the tire the smaller the gear will act. The 700r4's 1st gear will crutch a higher rear gear ratio but I would still go with a 3.73.
