While your doing a cam swap you mine as well do.
new timing chain. Upgrade to ls2
New oil pump
New lifters.

Sponsors here have cam kits so do some research on them

That cam you mention looks decent based on the limited specs. What are the future goals for the car?

The FTI StreetSweeper HT has been an awesome cam for a street/track LS. I had one when I was a 5.7 and got over 400 rwhp and great drive-ability with no cam surge.
