Default 427 Camshaft Choice ???????

I could use a few more opinions on camshaft specs for my current engine build. This is a difficult decision without actually testing camshafts by test driving the car.

What would YOU all consider the upper end of "streetable" and still a reliable, non-stalling, pleasure to drive around town?

Here are the engine specs:

Alum. 427 (4.25 bore)
4.25 stroke (healthy)
482 cubic inches
10.8 to 1 compression
Dual plane medium riser manifold
2.25 x 1.75 alum heads

This should be quite a torquer no matter what camshaft is chosen but H.P. could very dramatically. If I had the opportunity to drive a few dozen Cobra's with diferent setups this would be easy. Since that isn't likely, I must defer to the clubs infinite EXPERIENCE.

I would truly appreciate any thoughts.

Regards,

John
