I'm running a Lunati 230/238 .565/.565 110+6 on his LT1 LE2 heads. His cams use more aggressive profiles than what I got. I laid down 414rwhp on a Mustang Dyno with all supporting bolt ons, .030 over bore. So pretty close to what you're asking about, maybe a tad bigger.
I'm not sure if it'll make more power than a CC305 on stock heads though.
Personally, if the heads are going to stay stock I'd lean to the smaller CC305. It should pass emissions (while the 228/236 most likely wont) if that's an issue. It matches the max flow lift range of stock LT1 heads better. The Wider LSA will give is a smoother idle (sleeper mode). And it's power band is right in the range of a stock LT1.
Plus, I like to do the smallest cam I can for a given set up. If I could've gone smaller on my set up I would've.

Le said I should get 20 to 30 hp over the cc305 cam with lazy ramps.. emissions is not a problem here. I been looking at the 280 xfi/ 07-467-8. I like a smoother idle sleeper mode..

Comps ramp rates aren't as good as Lloyds. So the valves open slower meaning less average lift. Meaning less air flow. That 280XFI will have a bit of lope at idle.
280XFI
CC305
Mine
Lloyds recommendation has faster ramps than mine which are faster than Comps.

That 228/236 cam Lloyd spec'd for you won't do that.
However, regarding power output, it will blow the CC305 into the weeds.
His 218/224 cam would outperform the CC305 AND give you the sleeper idle.
His 224/230 cam might be the happy medium for you. It will also blow the cc305 into the weeds.

With stock head flow, you MUST run more overlap to get significantly more power than you have now.....and ..Overlap and "sleeper" are mutually exclusive.

The 20-30hp I was refering too was the Cam Lloyd recommended to you.
Here's my cam details ask requested.
Lunati
P/N: 20089908
Grind Number: 01-HR14-HR15
You won't find it online. Except for mine. I tried googling it already. No Bueno. (Nevermind I found it on google. LOL)
Here's the cam card.
If it wasn't for the deal I got on this cam plus that I would have to replace my brand new springs too I would have went with Lloyd's recommendation to me too. But my set up saved me $500, so I went this route. I'm still over 400rwhp on a Mustang Dyno SAE corrected. (414rwhp)

Yes, the 228/236 cam should easily get you 3 mph more than you're at now, PROVIDED you have the valvetrain AND the tune to utilize it. Follow Lloyd's recommendation on valvetrain. Dyno tune it.
Better springs is a given. The question is: Do you want to be changing them every 10k miles? 227 duration / .614 lift definitely sounds like one of those categories. If you need that last 5-10 hp, then go for it. The details of the rest of the build are going to make much more difference than that 5-10 hp
