95 Dakota build

My goal with the truck is to hit 13’s or possibly 12’s.... I would like to do some spirited street driving and be able to cruise.

I have decided to run a 5.9. Just tossed the 5.2 idea out there. Yes I have od a 46rh tranny. And I have a suregrip 8.25 rear with 3.55 gears but I will be installing a lower gear set. Thinking either 4.10s or 4.56s

May not be able to run headers if I do they will probably be shorties cause full length are not available. I have read that shorties are not much better than 92/93 magnum manifolds which I have a set of. If I can get a set of full length headers I will run them.

I have the rpm Air-Gap Chinese intake and a set of stock heads with the Hughes springs installed.

Also will be running a 2800 rpm lock up converter with the 46rh

Based on what I info I gave and what I have between these to cams which one would u pick? I should pick up power over a stock 5.9 cam? Yes I have the 279 cam but I can get the 258 cam and only have to pay shipping one way. Trying to find more out about the cams but this is all I know right now.
