Default Lq9/LS3 Heads Cam ?

I’m bought a new lq9 370ci shortblock. It came with howard cam 232/236 Lift .625” Lobe Separation Angle: 112 Intake Centerline: 108 I have a set of cnc ls3 heads factory ls3 intake 92mm TB 1 7/8 Longtubes 4l60e 3200 stall This is a street car. No track use. Will this cam work or do I need to sell it and go a different route. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Aren't you satisfied with how it runs now? You are looking at cams with a wider split, less intake duration and more exhaust duration. What are you trying to achieve?
You're not telling us much. What do you mean by better choices? Better for what?
