T-rex is going to lope hard enough to satisfy Helen Keller. Does that answer your question?
Think MAX effort stock heads. Its not going to make power untill 5000 rpms, but its going to hit like a son-of-a-bitch when the power does come on. Do you want a nice camshaft to drive around with and still make 400rwhp? You can do it. I'm quite fond of the Futral F14 (I have it), TSP's magic stick V.3, and the HPE "S-Cam". On a scale from 1-10, 1 being stock, 10 being T-Rex, these cams are about an 8, give or take here or there. You have alot of options here, rushing into a huge camshaft w/out research is the worst thing you can do.

I have a 244/248 that lays down the lope, but you will have some serious power cravings down low. It will kick on around and after 3600 RPM's and pull damn near to 7K. I have milled heads as well...and deep down inside I know I am needing some intake eyelashes. You over rev that sucker, you will have LS1 soup. Blur said it well. You don't want to ever rush into a big camshaft. This is my 3rd and after further research I might be changing again.
but any way...Not to beat a dead horse, but that camshaft is not for you. There is a whole bunch more proven/better option out there. The F-14 and the Torquer are going to have a minimal lope difference from the cam you listed.
My advice is to get as much info as you can on atleast 5 cams and make your selection from there. If you are getting a cam on what it sounds like (lope) then that is the wrong reason.

My cam (244/248 .598/.598 115) = 16*
MTI S1 (244/244 .612/.612 112) = 20*
T-Rex (242/248 .608/.612 110) = 25*
Your overlap is gonna determine your lope. The more overlap the more lope. You will seriously be a lot better off with a cam that is intended for stock cubes.
