Engine build

I have a 71 400 out of a ltd that i built for my 79 f250 and im not happy with the power. Im planning on doing a setup like KB flat tops , Edelbrock performer heads and edelbrock intake with 750 carb. what would be the best camshaft that would work well with motor. id like to do a solid roller cam or one bigger than the comp 268 i have now. I really dont want to use a flat tappet again. Any ideas
