Which cams would work best on a 3,2 SC with 46 PMOs ?

I am in the process of rebuilding a 911 SC engine which I put brand new high compression (10,3:1) Mahle pistons. These are 3,200 cc dispacement. I have just ordered PMO carbs from our host and the question is which cams should be better used for this setup. (single spark ignition)
The car will be used mainly on the street and fast mountain drives, and occasionally on driver eds. It is NOT a race car so I dont want something extreme. Mid range torque is what we are looking for

Shall i go for 964 cams ? Would these have enough clearance ?
I have not got much experience over these so I need some good advise please

TIA

Steve

I have the same engine but 9.5:1 C/R single plug, 46mm PMOs. I have DC40 cams with 106 lobe centers. Plenty of torque in midrange, flat torque curve from 3500-6500. Hp Peaks at 6600 with 1 5/8" headers. Pulls to 7200+ no problem. Great balanced setup for all conditions. Works for street/auto-x/DE, and now I actually race with it. Dynos about 218+/- rwhp with muffler, 235with open megaphones. You won't be disappointed.

Where can I get these ?
Any chance these would not have enough clearance since my pistons have 10,5 compression ?

Talk to a cam supplier. They can give you a good recommendation based on your engine specs.
