Default tow/performance cam L92 heads

What are your thoughts on a cam for a stock motor w/L92 heads in selecting a performance cam that can still tow the factory rated loads taking full advantage of the excellent flow at higher lift?

(data provided by WCCH)
4.030” test bore

LIFT___IN___EX
.100 _74.9. 63.6
.200_154.4 126.1
.300_225.3 162.3
.400_274.6 189.6
.500_308.8 205.5
.600_328.7 214.6
.650_326.6 217.8

The intake was tested with a radius plate and the exhaust was tested with a 2 ½” stub pipe.

I personally like the square port trucker cam bc it works great with stock exhaust, gears, converter

If your setup has vvt then it may be worthwhile to get a cam which utilizes it. It'll still give you a noticeable it'll grant you more torque and from my understanding, just overall better for towing.

Might wanna get an experts opinion though. I mentioned that simply because I know the L76 has l92s and it utilizes vvt in its stock form.

What about a TRuTorq Thunder Racing cam? Maybe level 1 or 2? They have close to the same specs as the cam listed above but a little more lift to take advantage of those heads.

TR TRuTorq" Level 1 - 219/224 .609/.604 115 LSA

TR TRuTorq" Level 2 - 223/230 .609/.604 115 LSA
