Default Comp cam custom grind how will it perform

In looking to buy a used(but still in box new) comp custom grind cam specs are 227/238 .613 .615 how will this perform I'm not very knowledgable on cams I've been reading for about a month trying to figure out what I am wanting and I decided on a ms3 but found a deal on this cam

You might want to mention what engine, trans, heads, manifold, etc.

Stock heads ls1 6spd ls6 manifold with all the supporting mods I guess what is it in comparison to the ms3 my car is not a daily it's a weekend cruiser so I'm not all that worried about drivability just the performance of it

That split in duration seems excessive for a cathedral headed engine. Mine has 8* split and a lot would say that is even a lot. Most seem to run 4-6*.

I'm no expert though, but those are my first thoughts

The old standard ASA cam has 10 degrees split.

The LSA and advance will determine a lot here
