its just a huge duration, the lift isnt that killer. I think youll be fine with that stall, allthough yes a 4400 would help. Anyway i would suggest upgrading the rod bolts if the motos isnt in the car.... Id leave in the cam, one day youll want heads, and that cam
would make for a killer setup.

If so be prepared to flycut.

what does the lift have to do with how much stall a cam needs? the stall is basically determined by overlap. the more overlap the larger stall needed...
that cam won't perform well unless you are prepared to flycut as aforementioned, and get a stall with +1000 rpm stalling capability.
look for a low-mid 230s duration cam

I was saying the lift isnt killer, not for the stall but because its not as huge of a cam as the durations make it look like. If it was like a .630/.630 or more then id say it was too big a cam probably.

That kinda looks like a Ed Curtis cam, similar to like a Helion cam
There is no way that cam will fit under 5,3L heads, unless they are stock, and that would've been a serious mismatch.
Your best bet for perfomance is a 230 range cam on a tight LSA or like a TSP TV3 (231/234 111 LSA) or a custom TV2 like 232/234 111 LSA, or my grind, 230/230, .612/.592 111+2 LSA

Yeah, I know, I was saying, looked like his style, but I could be mistaken, I didn't mean it was a Hellion.
