Default Yep... you got it...another cam recommendation

I am putting together a 400 for my 81 TA. This car will be street driven with maybe the occasional blast down the 1/4. I have a new 400 short block with what I think is a comp xe262 from my measurements. I have read much on here about similiar combos but nothing exactly like this. So the heads are 6x4 and milled down .020 with stock valves, 988 comp springs, and will be using comp roller tip rockers. Pretty sure my comp ratio is right around 9.4 to 1. The intake will be a stock 70 unit topped with a 7274 q jet that was rebuilt. The trans is a stock rebuild with a shift kit and 3.08 gears. Exhaust... well stock manifolds with 2.25 head pipes, flow masters, and 2.5 tails (head pipes were in good shape FM dont make 2.25 tails) I may change to RARE oversize manifolds later. Oh and piston is .010 in the hole. Stick with the cam I think is a xe262, move to a 60916, or move to something else? Thanks in advance.
