Default Help picking cam

Ok I am now waiting on my new 427 to come in and I am trying to pick the best cam possible.
The new motor will have flat top wiseco pistons, stock 1.7 lifters, stage 3 243 heads, fast 92 intake and tb, and 690 lif springs.

I am trying to find a bad *** cam for this new set up i just want to see what cam others thing i should try.

Texas speed has a ls7r cam thats 248/256 .658/.658 114+3 (with 1.8 rockers) tho, i have 1.7 so it will kill a little lift. But that is the cam i have my eyes on.

Thanks for any help
