Default TSP Giant Cam Questions

I am looking into getting this for a 408 with TSP 5.3 2.5r heads milled to 62cc's with 2.04ferrea/1.575manley valves - how do you all think this will perform with an a4? do i need to check springs all the time or anything? how will it be on the street?

the giant is a pretty large cam, just on slightly different lobes.i'd go with a pretty high scr with that big of a stick,12:0 or so to get your dcr up over 8:5.

Needs to be at least 11.1:1 or better. Mine is 11.2:1!

I hear the different between 10.9:1 and 11.1:1 is only about 3rwhp at most?
