Default Big Block Performance Question

Just purchased a 78 C3 with a low power (235hp) 454 and automatic trans. Would like to install an nice cam, manifold, and carb. Car is used only as a weekend driver so I could go a bit more radical than a daily driver. Need suggestions please on the above parts. Really need help with the cam and max duration for an automatic (there is no pollution stuff or AC).
