Default Custom cam question for cam gurus

ok im not a cam guru by any means so im coming to you guys for something...im thinking what would say a 222/228 .560/.560 114-115 +2 cam act like on a stock headed car but with full exhaust Lt's back? Figure with all the problems peeps have been having with those 918's the low lift wouldnt be that hard on the springs...combinded with the advance it should lower the rpm range to where the springs wouldnt have to work so hard and considering the duration wouldlnt be that harsh but have enough on the exhaust side to compliment a decent exhaust system i was thinking it would be an auto/emissions friendly cam...what do you all think?

Thanks
Bill

I think that cam is a good choice, although you are worrying about breaking a Comp 918 too much. Unless you get some bad ones, they can handle 7200 rpm no problem.
