LT4 Cam a good choice?

The missing link to my motor right now is the cam. With a little luck it will be going in the car in the next month or so! After doing some research it appears the LT4 may be my best option.

With that in mind here are the specs on my motor:
92 L98 w/fresh 0.030"
TPI Injection system
24# injectors
Ported lower intake
1.5 roller rockers
2.02/1.60 ported and polished heads w/.500 max lift springs
Edelbrock TES headers
Accel super coil/8.8 wires

I had been given a ZZ4 cam from a friend but did not want to chance the max lift on that one at .510. The LT4 seems to be pretty close where its .492 w/1.5 rollers on it.

I spoke with a rep from Comp and they suggested teh Xtreme Energy XR264 cam. The specs are in the ballpark of the LT4 but quite a bit more money to say the least!

This car is going to be driven primarily on the street I just want it to be able to get up and go. My RPM range will most likely be anywhere from 2500 - 3500 when it's not held to the rug.

SpeedPro makes a few cams that are around the same specs but I am unsure of the quality of the cam. I am open to your suggestions!
