Default Cam opinion wanted!

Considering the XER273HR14 (224/230 .581/.588 114+2 XE-R lobes) for use on a stock bottom end 02 LS1 with milled Patriot 59CC Stage II heads with 2.055 intake valves and crane .650 lift dual springs. Would be using GM MLS gasket, LS6 intake, mid length swap headers and full 2.5 inch exhaust with X. Car has a T56, so no stall needed. Trying to find a decent cam that will compliment the heads, give great all around power in a 3300lb car, a fairly mild exhaust note, and an easy 400rwhp. Trying to do my best to avoid cutting the pistons. Also still thinking about just buying a 228R if anyone has one for sale.

Please try to stay constructive, just weighing the options.

CAR WILL NEVER SEE A RACE TRACK.
