Default Hydraulic Roller Camshaft

I purchased a hydraulic roller camshaft with specs: 220/226 duration .567/.610 lift on a 110

At the time, this cam was going to go into the 428 stroker engine that i was building. However, all of that changed when i purchased the Ironman Kirkham.

Now i am building the 427FE to 527 stroker and i have had some different opinions passed around on this cam.
If you have experience with a FE Stroker please chime in.

Some think the cam will be great for the street, while others seem to think that it has far too little duration and will not run well in the 527 stroker.
This was not a cheap cam, but i did purchase it from summit less than a year ago, so they will still take it back should i decide not to use it. I am of course going to get my engine shops opinion as well, but the more suggestions from experienced FE builders, the better.

Thanks
