Cams, cams, cams

I know this question has had to have been posted here, but I already did a search and did not find what I was looking for.

My question is I have a 68 Gal 390 2bbl, I believe this comes with 285 ponies, I want atleast 400-450. Besides the obvious ( carb) what other mods would be recommended? I know I want to put a new cam/lifters/new valve train, but which one, I am unsure of. Does anyone know of a proven setup thats been dyno'd?
I also plan to go with one of msd's coils, again not sure which one, they all sound good, The one I was looking at was the "6AL".

Are there anyother mods I should do? I am planning on keping it nat aspirated, and I do not plan on putting nitrous in the car.Also I want to use pump gas. So I like to keep the compression at 9.5.

Any comments/suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks Nick
