Default Stock cam rpm power range

What is the rpm power range for a stock 1986 5.0? I'm thinking it's idle to 5500 rpm. The power drops off at around 5400-5500 rpm. What is a good cam replacement to get the rpm range up and still maintain approx .500 lift? AFR heads are looming in the near future.

I think on an 86 it is around 5400 I believe.. watch out for cams with alot of lift/duration, I don't know what the max is stock on an 86, but you have flat tops with no reliefs, so just be careful.
