you shouldn't have any issues I had the one below it the XER281HR in my LS1 and had no issues. Also it was a blast. Also, that cam is identical to Horsepower Engineering's S cam if you want a little more info on it.

You already bought the cam it looks like. It's usually recommended to ask questions first than buy after you do your research. Since you're doing it backwards just throw it in

Yeah, that cam will do well with supporting mods. Regardless there will be a power jump over stock. I assume you are running a T56?
