xe268h ?? any remarks?

hey, i got a 350 stock bore 81 block, 4 bolt main
dart pro 1 heads 2.05 1.60 valves 64cc
keith black pistons w/ 2 vr est cr 10.3 to 1
scat forged rods and 9000 series crank
full edelbrock intake w/ runners ported plenum and 58mmtb
24lb injectors w/ afpr
ram air hood w/ intake box
got the stuff to program the computer

currently looking at the xe268h cam ???
what do u guys think? should i go w/ something different?
i don't have a hydraulic roller block, so i'm using a flat tappet hydraulic.
any ideas for cam selection would be appreciated.
i have a 2400-2700 stall convertor, w/ 700r/4 perf build
3 series gears in the 9 bolt.... looking for something streetable w/ decent idle and the ablility to run somewheres in the 12sec range in the 1/4 (hey wouldn't mind better though)

I would try something with at least a 112 Lsa, for tuning.

Look here you will see extreme energy, hydraulic flat tappet, computer controlled engines, any with at least 112 LSA.

I've got it, it's a pretty tame cam, I would probably have gone 274 if I had the chance to do it over again.
