I forgot,street driven.
 
Alan,

Assuming you have headers, a 4bbl intake and 9:1 compression or more, the Ford Racing cam with .472 intake and .496 exhaust lift, (duration 214, 224) works well. The part number is FMS-M-6250-A312. The cam in my signature is Crane Cam that I like a lot. It is a bit lumpier. I cannot say I have any time sheets to tell which one ran better, but I doubt they are far apart.

I would say to avoid the "Performer" cam as it is just too mild for a manual transmission and 3.55 gears.

I have a 650 holley,Perf rpm manifold,headers,4 speed, 3.55 t-loc, 620 coils lowered 1 inch, 5 leaf lowered 1 inch, huge sway bars. I just have too much cam for my power brakes. Will the cam you suggested provide enough vacuum for my brakes?
 
I can't answer your vacuum question but Summit sells vacuum canisters for situations such as yours.

IMO, yes. You should be able to do it without a canister, but definitely no problem with one, if you run the A312 or equivilent. I ran something similar, except solid lifter, in my street racer and drove it daily with no brake issues. Even cruised the main *G*
