Sorry long post
I do not have a chevelle but I read your forum for engine information.
I just bought them Goodwrench 350 10067353 from jegs. This is my first ever engine project.
There are so many choices for cams and heads my mind is spinning. What do you recommend for my application.
1980 corvette. 4 speed weight on the title is 3150lbs
3.08 rear gears with 2.88 first gear in t10 trans. (Will be switching to 3.73 in the future)
Car is used 99% street, with an occasional blast down the 1/4 mile
I currently have the stock L48 in it and a best run of 15.4 @ 94 mph on old Goodyear ST tires
The only mod I've made to my engine are headers with sidepipes 1 7/8" primaries recurved the distributor for 36 degrees @3000 rpm installed a jegs quadrajet.
For heads I've been looking at these procomp a skip white performance http://www.skipwhiteperformance.com/detail.aspx?Item=S58210272 with 58cc chambers to get the compression up 9.5 or a little more.
Cam looking at voodoo 268 or 276, comp xe268, 274, Howards 110041-10 http://www.skipwhiteperformance.com/detail.aspx?Item=110041-10. Cams I am also considering are isky mega 270, 280 with the 108 center to build more dynamic compression.
I'd like to reuse my quardajet
Intake performer rpm.

Suggestions please

You're on the right track with your spec. However, do shop around on heads a bit, some folks have bolted them on with great success, others have spent hundreds in the machine shop correcting a brand new set of pro comps. I like the idea of the compression bump, but call a few other mfgrs to see what they could do.
