Default LS3 427C.I. Questions

Well i think i am going to go with a LS3 based 427 for my new engine.
It will have a set of TFS 235's on it with a FAST 92 and NW 92mm TB.
Main question in on the camshaft.

I currently have the TrickFlow Stage 4 cam (238-242 .595 .595 112LSA)
Would this work OK or would it be a waste of time with this large of an engine? Car will be a street car with VERY limited track time.(No cage)
I want it to have OK drivability on the street. It has a Yank SS4000 Converter and 3.73's

Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks
Josh

IMO yes, the drivabiltiy goes back to the tuner. He needs to do a good job on the tune for the car to drive in rush hour traffic.
