Default Looking for cam

I have a 93 Mustang notchback with a LQ4, L92 heads(gonna get milled .030), 750 carb running e85, TH350, 4200 stall, and 4.56 gears. Looking for the best cam to get the most power. Was told when i bought the car that it has a procharged corvettes cam in it and want to swap it out for something that works better for this setup.

Anyone know if this XER281HR-12 cam would have any PTV clearance issues? Seen some others running this and having good results but no where does it say anything about PTV clearance. Found a new one for sale pretty cheap and looking for a cam to run until i build start my new motor build.

From what I have read, you can't put much cam in a square port head motor with milled heads. You may just commit to fly cutting as long as you are not planning to run nitrous.
