the 509 purpleshaft has to be the best cam for stock valvetrain.
i have seen one of these run in a 383 for 16? years, never a problem.
 
you can get bigger cams, but you will wear out springs if you get much
bigger, the bigger cams generally have quick ramps that need good 
triple springs to keep up with higher rpm, even in the 5000 rpm range
you will start to lose you're consistency and times will be all over the
place. 
one of the local builders (who is a very winning drag racer) insists on
new springs every year. sorry i can't afford that, but you get the point
 
if you are already getting 13's out of a wagon with a hydralic cam,
i wouldn't change a thing.
