Yeah, there are plenty of people that do high-mileage cam swaps. I did mine at about 68,000. You will most likely be replacing your entire drivetrain though.
Sounds like a good cam. What kind of power are you looking to make though?
And what is your goal for this car as far as FI or N/A or Nitrous?

Looks like you could probably spray that cam, so I was just wondering if you were going to get a 75-150 shot.

I have the same spec cam, its a comp cam though. Click the link in my sig and download the video so you can hear it. Mods are listed in sig also. I love it, but you will need a new clutch. I'm about to order a spec stage 2+ and my motor has more miles than yours does...
