Cam advice for current my set up and goals

I currently have an Evo viii. my current set up is as follows.
Ets 3.5 inter cooler
Ets uicp and licp
Forge MBC at 24 lbs of boost
Buschur turbo back exhaust
No name test pipe
Ets intake
Walboro 255 fuel pump
Meagan 02 housing
Stage 2 comp clutch
Stock turbo
Stock head
I am currently making 314 AWHP and 309 torque.My goal is to make 400+ hp.I bought a set of Kelford 272 and was planning to upgrade the spring and retainers because of the lift(safety Net). The car is a daily driver (ashamed to say alot by my wife LOL). I do plan on upgrading turbo probably in about 6 month's or so to an HTA71 or FP Red and a manifold. This will complete my build for a while. A friend of mine and fellow tuner said this is the wrong cams for my set up. I really respect this guys opinion cause he knows his **** but i keep reading the Kelford 272 is the best all around cam. I dont drag or track the car. If you guys can throw out your opinions or maybe suggestions on my cam delima i would appreciate it.Thanks
