What is the intended application ?
My opinion is that if this is for Stage 2 heads, i'm not a fan of straight duration cam profiles. Would like to see a bigger intake lobe. The lobes don't look very aggressive with 36 degrees of intensity level so will be easy on parts and not require a lot of spring. Probably get away with 180 to 220 at the seat. The lobe lift is a little low for stage 2 heads. I would like to see more near .380 to .420 lobe lift to take advantage of port flow.
If your intent is mostly street driving with little track time than it will work. If your looking to make power I wouldn't use it.
Just my opinion....

Thanks Allen.... It's a SII headed car... Only street duty is to local shows and cruises... I had this cam, and put it in to get the car/motor up and running last year. Just wanted to see if it's worth keeping in or need a better spec'd cam..
Thank you
Thank you
I would run more intake duration and spread the lobes a little more for street use or use a totally different grind. You have room to increase lift and duration without adding overlap and still not need ridiculous springs as Allan mentioned the lobes arent very aggressive.

It may get you there but I would consider installing it near 114 CL, not the 110 or 111 as indicated on the cam card. The exhaust lobe closes a little early due to the small profile.
