Well, after much searching, I realized that there's not much for performance-oriented hydraulic cams that are under .430" lift (so you can retain stock springs).

Cam Techniques has a profile I've used a lot which uses their H284 grind for the intake (.426" lift, 212 @ .050", 280 degree advertised), and their H278 for the exhaust (.417" lift, 204 @ .050", 270 degrees advertised). Recommend having it ground at 109 or 110 degree lobe separation....109 will give a touch better torque, at the expense of a bit more overlap (rougher idle). They have some newer profiles that I don't have a list of which may be more in line with the recommendation below.

Now, in keeping with my original recommendations, Bullet Racing Cams has some profiles that are more my liking. For the intake, H265/286 which is .429" lift with 216 @ .050" duration, 265 advertised. For the exhaust I like the H274/280 which is listed as .420" lift, 208 @ .050", and 280 advertised. I would shoot for 109 degree lobe separation here as well.

These are not 'radical' cams by any means, they're pretty tame, but still a lot better than stock. I've run cams with another 30-40 degrees of duration @ .050" in my daily drivers, so you can see there's still room to grow.
