Default Lingenfelter camshaft opinion

So I,m in the middle of my Ls1 in an 84 Z28 conversion and so far I have a 2001 Ls6 short block, Lingenfelter ported Ls1 heads, port matched Ls1 intake, ported throttle body, Hooker super comp shorty headers, and a Lingenfelter .530/.530 lift 210/218 @ .050" duration 117ls camshaft. (That heads and cam combo was supposedly dynoed at 420hp and 386rwhp in a 98 M6 Camaro according to LPE). The car will have an M6 and need to pass NY state inspection for an 84 carbed 305 of course. Should I keep this cam or go with a more aggresive TR camshaft? BTW this engine is replacing an old style SBC with a M5 and 4.10 gears that made about 400hp and could spank an Ls1 M6 corvette by 3 car lengths. I just don't want to go through all this work and the car be slower than it was with the old engine. So please let me know your opinions am I headed in the right direction as far as the engine goes or should I change something before i put this engine together?

step up to the LPE gt2-3 if you want a sleeper setup. i'd go with a tried and true tr224 114 though, great power and will pass emissions; obdII or sniffer.

Thanks, i'm not really concerned about it being a sleeper, the car was never really a sleeper with the old setup. how about the tr227/224 112 is that too agressive for my heads and compression?
