Default Eps cam

Hey guys picked up a short block from one of the

Members here it has a eps custom grind

I'll be running 243 heads and ls1 intake with headers

Should I keep this cam or chunk it? Will this cam be street able?

Excessive overlap will cause a loss of cylinder pressure at low rpm right? Causing bottom end torque to drop off you don't have enough compression?

It's a stock shortblock with kaytech rod bolts and arp head studs. Going to get an ls6 intake for it later. I have the block apart and replacing all bearings rings....
