231/237 is a good cam with that stall IMO. It will work on a 110 LSA provided you get it tuned.

I cant tell you if another cam is "better" because you havent said what your goals are. If you want more dragstrip power then yeah there is better. If you want a more diveable motor then yeah there is better. This cam is a good medium IMO. Do you plan on doing any head work as well?

Im not %100 sure if 400 is possible with that cam, but I would guess that it is. Different LSA's will affect overlap, valve opening and close points, and compression. That cam seems ok for the uses you listed. Lots of people daily drive cams that are way bigger anyway.
