Default cam choice - have i done the right thing?

hi all,

i've been collecting bits and pieces for my engine for the last few months now, just recently i bought my cams ( a pair of bd14's). i am basically building an engine that will run 400hp on a t34 with the ability to run 100 more when i buy a bigger turbo. i want the car to come on boost low down, but have a big power band (say 3500 - 8000rpm). does my cam choice sound any good, as i've heard of people only using a bd10 instead of bd14 exhaust for 500hp and it makes me think i may have gone a bit overkill with it?

thoughts please?

less low down lag i think

i think if you go for a bd10 or standard exhaust it will make it alot more responsive in the low revs

bd14 will make it really flat at low revs
