With a 402 you dont need to worry about torque down low, you'll have enough. Now for a daily driver you need to think not so much in power but in drivability as well. The bigger the cam the nastier it will be in stop and go traffic and low rpm driving as it will buck and jerk etc...
I have a 408 myself with Absolute Speed heads as well (320-330cfm) that have been driving ED for the past couple of months. It has a 244/248 cam and makes 520rwhp and 489tq. Driving at low rpms (ie 1200-1500rpms) gets some bucking at times but I'm trying to fix it with EFILive. So it all depends if you "mind" that or not. Check sig for mods.

That is a big cam, drivable and tunable stick with 112 or 114 lsa.
Must of the guys over on LS1Tech say for spray use a small cam on a 114

now those would be results i would be EXTREMELY happy with! nice setup! im leaning towards the texas giant right now. i spoke with jeremy and he made some recommendations. he did mention to keep the LSA up, better for spray and tuning he says.
