6.0L Gen IV L96 Cam Selection Help

Hey folks, ready to do my first LS swap...got a ton of parts, just trying to cross the finish line - hope I'm in the right spot!

I'm planning a L96/6L90E (out of a 2015 Express Van) swap going into a 71 Chevy Suburban that will be used for daily driving therefore drivability is very important. I want it to sound like a hot rod, have some grunt/pep, but still be reliable on the street. I plan to run a Holley single plane intake (https://www.delmospeed.com/product/dels3-kit-for-ls3/), Holley mid-mount serpentine system, Vintage Air A/C and power brakes. I'm assuming a factory torque converter came with the swap (long story), but am not sure what gears are in the rear end.

After talking with a Comp they recommended the following cam: https://www.compcams.com/xfi-rpm-hi-...-iv-w-vvt.html along with phaser and springs. Comp recommended their springs and push rods, but I'm likely going to get a set of both from Brian Tooley Racing. Do you think this will work well with the combo I described? As a reminder, this is going in a Suburban so I'm not trying to autocross it or anything, just want it to sound awesome, have some guts and be reliable.

All that being said, what do you guys think? Will this combo work out or do I need to keep fishing?
