Re: LG4 Cam advice
The Comp XE256 is known to work well in that motor. Crane also has a cam that's similar.
You're looking for about 210-214° @.050" on the intake, and a somewhat bigger exhaust lobe than that. But not the Summit cheeepie, something better (more modern) than that.

So that Comp XE256 will work with the computer and not throw codes ? and i can retain the computer controlled carb and distribuitor ?

Re: LG4 Cam advice
I have an LG4 in my 83 Z-28. I went with the XE-262 and I am very happy with the results 
No check engine light and idles nicely on the street. Here is a sound clip of mine. I have edelbrock headers and a flowmaster cat back.
