Heads/cam for D1SC

When using ported or aftermarket heads on an FI motor, is a large cam still as important as with an NA motor? IE...

stg 2.5 317 heads from TEA with 2.04 int valve, 1.57 exh valve, with 212/218 lift .522/.525 dur Cam....On a 6.0L

I guess my question is, is this setup going to work well or do I need a larger cam? Any suggestions please!!

Talk to some sponsers and ask them for advice. Hopefully they'll be glad to help. Ive been talkin to speedinc and they've been helpful to me.
