I think a custom is the way to go generally, you get a cam tailored to YOUR needs, and not an OTS cam designed for several applications. That being said, if your only looking for an RPM range of idle to 3k, your not asking much, a high torque truck style cam would probably work. To give you an idea of what a custom can cost, In my old vert, I went custom with Jay Allen from Camshaft Innovations and would highly recommned him again but I paid 380.00 for a billet cam.

i agree... esp. with what you're looking for.

what you need is a stock HO 5.0 cam and advance it 4 degrees. You will make what you want and ungodly torque.

I once saw a guy do this with afr 165s and a ported out stock intake. it made 260/350
This was with the efi HO intake though... genarally more torque than a carb.
