Default cam for 351w

Hi All,
Iam building a 1992 351w with stock 1973 351w dooe heads with 1.84"x1.54" valves with 60.4 cc chamber. Stock heads CFM rated at 181 cfm @ .500. I need 260 hp @ 4400 rpm with great low end and mid range torque at 3500 rpm to pull a heavy load like a big RV. Using a edlebrock performer intake with a 4160 holley 4bbl. compression 9:1 with flat top pistons
I have a cam picked out with duration @ .050 of 210 intake/214 exhaust with valve lift of intake .477 / exhaust .485 with lsa of 114 degrees for good idle. Do I have too much valve lift for the stock dooe heads @ 181 cfm @ .500?
Thanks

What does the cam manufacturer say. I'm no cam guru, but they'll know.

Sounds like it'll be fine, but always check PTV clearance.
