That is all relative though. A naturally aspirated 302 that runs 10.70 is impressive, a naturally aspirated 347 that runs 10.70 is not. See what I mean? You sure can make an off the shelf cam work but a cam built around the car works much better. In some cases (like this one) I wouldn't recommend a custom cam because it doesn't sound like the owner is too serious about going fast. Custom is for those that want the most out of their set up and want an extremely efficient combination.

A custom cam is a cam that is ground specifically for your combination.

So pretty much find a company that will do it, tell them my current setup and they'll make the best cam for me? where should I start looking? any worthy companies that people swear by?

Camshaft Innovations or Cam motion are a couple great places to start. Another, cheaper, alternative, if it hasn't been mentioned already, is to call a cam company and tell them your build and see what off the shelf cam they reccommend.

Tell them your combo, gears, ect.. what you want out of the car RPM range, shift point, ect... and they will grind you a cam to match your specific specs.
