What cam grinder's part number is that? If it's any help to you I run Comp Cams Extreme Marine 272 roller in my twin 355 Vortecs. I am very pleased with the performance.

here is your cam. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/nal-14097395 I would go bigger. And also its a 109 cam, most marine cams are 112 lobe separation as to avoid reversion.

With the vortec heads and other L31 engine parts, I believe this is good for 290 - 300 HP depending on intake and carb. It is a pretty conservative cam for a 350 vortec, like others have mentioned you can build more power with a more aggressive cam, but I can attest to the fact that they idle nice and are very well behaved.

You are correct...any lift over about .480 causes a bind in the lighter stock spring. Larger more robust springs require relieving the spring pocket to accept a more substantial and larger diameter spring.
