Thoughts on this cam?

I got a 347 forged iron motor from a buddy for my build. I was going to use the Tick stage 1 turbo cam, but this already has what seems like a decent cam. It's a regrind cam, specs are 212/218 .525/.525 116LSA. Going to be using an On3 78/75 and going for 700+whp through an auto. Sound good?

I whould give it a try. you most likely don't have a cam card or know where it was installed degree wise. but it is a good sounding cam .

That cam is leaving a ton on the table.

I agree, but in the interest of saving a bit of cash does it seem good to get things going. I WILL replace it but my thoughts are that with this small turbo, the low duration will help prevent chocking in higher RPM 's. Question is, can I reach my goal without having to run a ton of boost? With a proper cam, I assume 700whp would be somewhere in the 12-15psi range. This little thing might need 18 or so to get there.
