Default how does this cam look for a carb aplication?

I contacted comp cams and this is what they recommended i have custom ground for a carburated LQ9 in a 3,000 lb daily driven car.

Part #: 54-000-11
Grind #: 3753/3735HR110+4
Duration @ .050": 224/230
Lift w/ 1.7 Ratio: .534/.539
LSA: 110
Advance in cam: +4

I dont know much about cams so am looking to see what you all think.

By looking at the specs could you tell me what the engine would run like with just the cam and the performer manifold with a carb and MSD box. the rest of the engine would be stock

The performer would have more midrange than the single plane, but the single plane would eat it up top.

clearance should be ok, but I would double check piston to valve clearance anyways to make sure. And you WILL need springs with that cam. Stock springs arent good for much. Eric L
