Default cam advice for future V

Im looking at picking up a V here around tax time. Im looking at 04-07 $25k or less with somewhere in the ballpark around 50k miles. I have a brand new cam spec'd by brian tooley that was for my silverado ss which I will be selling or trading in. How would this cam do in a V? Should I hang onto it and put it in the future V or sell it? Car will be getting the usual bolts on right away. Ryan at RPM in NC will be doing the tuning. Cam specs:

I thought the same thing. Wanted to get some input from someone who has a v already. Is there anything I should look out for when purchasing one? Normal wear an tear items? Which parts are a better fit than others?
