Default XE 256 with 3.73 gears

Its been a awhile since I posted and performance never really improved with the 60916 cam, in the low compression 400. I don't like the 3.73's and I am planning a change. Going back to factory exhaust manifolds and mufflers. No more headers. Exhaust will still be true duals.
I am taking a different route. Looks like I will be going to either 3.08 or 3.23 gears.
Looking at either a XE 256 cam or a Summit 2801. Which would be the better of the 2 cams. I beleive I can stay with the stock valve springs with either cam. Will these cams pull to 4800 rpm?
Remember low compression 400 with 6X4 heads, 4speed BW super T10 , 73 firebird as a Formula clone.

I have decided to go with the XE 256 cam 212/218 dur. Problem is I will have 3.73's for a couple of months until I can change to 3.23's How do you think she will run? with the XE 256. Should be a improvement on the bottom end over the 60916 cam. I have decide to keep the headers also.
