A little engine planning/cam selection help, please?

Hey guys!

So, my little 383 small block is in my '59 Apache. All QA1 tubular control arms, disc brakes front and rear. Currently has a mild cam and World Products iron heads.

It's a hot rod/weekend warrior. 26"-ish rear tires (275/40-18), built TH350 (may swap to overdrive standard transmission in next year or two), 3,000 stall converter, 4.10 gears. Soon to be 4 linked. Currently has an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake. I just picked up a set of Dart Pro 1 aluminum heads. Pistons have a 5cc dish to them (flat tops with valve reliefs). Dart heads have 64cc combustion chambers and 200 cc intake runners. I'm considering this camshaft, as I've previously had amazing experiences with the Summit Racing house branded camshafts!

Considering swapping to either an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap intake, a Weiand Track Warrior single plane, or
Edelbrock Victor Junior single plane. Thoughts here?

Here the truck:
