You might post whatever other mods besides heads and headers you have already done so that one might see the whole picture. What type of car is the engine in, and what are your goals for your setup? There is a LOT of potential help on these boards, so the more you tell us the more help you will get.

I personally would've gone a little smaller than that but that's just me. It really comes down to if the car is going to be a daily driver or just a fun weekend warrior/track car. If your intentions are more for the weekend/track car that cam will be just right. If I were telling someone to pick a cam for daily driving and still get great performance look at the Titan 4, BTR LS1 Stage 2, or something similar.

Should work good then. Make sure you get good valvetrain components and might as well do an ATI or Innovators West damper if you don't have one.
