Default ls 5.3 cam question

I have a 1990 foxbody with a 5.3 .
I have a chance to get this cam for 150$, but I'm wondering if itll work well in a 5.3 with ls6 intake 706 heads shorty sanderson headers (will upgrade soon)
Lobe seperation 112
Duration 230/230

It's a little on the large side for my taste, but give it a shot, what do you have to loose?

That cam is to big for most 5.3 it also depends on Applycation. If it an auto you will need a loose converter.
