I have no idea even what a good manufacturer is. Also, this spring I'm putting a AWE track exhaust on with link pipes just to make it louder IDK if that factors into anything

Given your parameters you have to go with a smaller comp cam, AFM compatible. There are a few other AFM compatible but even Texas Speed does not list their AFM cam anymore. So back to comp cam,
IMO you have to go with the two smaller ones as IMO the bigger cams require springs too stiff for the AFM lifter (all this is because to change the AFM lifter requires you to remove the head). So we take the bigger of the two (smaller cams).

That is a 226 / 228 cam on 116 LSA, should work with a good single beehive spring able to take .575 lift. Not too stiff or you are going to kill the AFM lifter. I'd stick with the stock 6600 fuel cut.
Should work well with any blot on or ported stock stuff. Cam is pretty small so you will hear some lope, but that is not going to be a slap you in the face take notice when you pull into the parking lot.
REQUIRES CUSTOM TUNING
Excellent Responsiveness & Mid-Range Power
Provides Across-The-Board Gains
Ideal for L83 & L86 Truck Engines
Here is a cam change with dyno on the biggest of the 4, this is a big cam and they are running some stiff conical springs. I would not recommend this due to weak AFM lifters.
Super Chevy mag got 37 HP from cam, and 20 something more by adding a free breathing air filter, I think the cam pulled to 7000 RPM. No dyno on thier site anymore:
MODS TQ HP 60-FT E.T./MPH
Baseline 395/4600 397/5900 1.82 12.13/116.64
ARH Exhaust/Tune 413/4700 413/6000 1.86 11.76/120.98
M/T Drag Radials 1.68 11.47/119.32
Comp Cam, Springs 413/4800 450/6400
Halltech Air Intake 424/4900 471/6100
IMO, backed up by fullbolt ons you should see 35 to 45 WHP from this stang II cam. It is a small cam, but the factory cam was tiny
