If that's the case it could be a long long time and you will never upgrade...and if it does go pop, you'll have to replace a lot more than the camshaft

You have to ask yourself what do you intend to do with the car. IF its a 1/4 mile car then you want to go bigger. If its a daily driver then its perfect. You'll get everyone with a bigger cam saying theirs drives fine at low rpms and they do but they dont have the torque or hp at low rpms that a tr224 112 lsa does. If you want send me a pm with your email and I'll send you my dyno graph from the mustang dyno. The KEY to having good success with a cam is the TUNE. I went from 375/375 cam only to 440/420 with heads and a proper dyno tune. You can figure about 35-40 hp from the heads and 20hp from the better tune is what I'm guessing.
