have a talk to Peter Waggott at Waggott Cams in Nthn NSW. Not exactly sure where but they do good cams.

For everyday driving that diff is miles too low. You'll be driving it round near the redline on the open highway with 13' rims.

I'd find a 3.36 if it was me.

Mine is 497 lift solid Crow cam and its ok to drive quite lumpy but you cant sit on 60 in 4 th gear

Yep, that's about what I've got in my old girl too Gene & with 3.9's behind a Toyota manual box with a solid 500 lift cam, perfect for street cruising, and some daily work travel.
For something just to cruise around in, don't get too hooked up on cam specs, just make it a lumpy stick & chuck it in. The triples will certainly wake it up though.

The camtech one is not too big but you lack adequate compression to get the most out of it. That said, it would still be ok and a lot of fun to use. Stick with the 3.9 gears tho if you do decide to use it.
If your worried about 3.9's on the highway maybe look at the second cam tech can you mentioned. You could probably run taller gears and it would be more suited to your compression I would imagine.

It could have a bog stock factory cam and still take off well with that diff ratio

My angry 202 hated the 3.9 diff. 3.55 was heaps better, VN Borgwarner diff (with VL 3.45 gears) is better again... feels like it could go down some more but I don't want to start riding the clutch to take off. And all in an HJ with 5 speed. I reckon at least 3.36, if not the 3.08.
