Default Is this cam good for me?

Just got offered a decent deal on a cam. (?) Cam specs are 226/220 591/578 115LSA custom all-billet camshaft from GTP performance. Asking price is $300. It is a used cam though it looks to be barely used.
My question is - I would like somewhat better power N/A, but will also be spraying a 150 wet shot. It is for a 2000 ws6 t/a.
I would like to know if this cam is good for my goals, will be lopey, how bad, and if it will out me over 400whp mark n/a.
PS: Still reading up on cams, cam specs & all - & that is why I am asking for expert advice.
Thanks

not a good cam choice at all 224/230 220/224 224/224 230/232 228/232 something more along those lines. You'll need all the supporting mods as well/. You also need to determin when you want to shift and how high you want to rev your motor. There are a lot of things to consider, not just how much RWHP you want n/a.

With -7* overlap, it won't be that lopey.
And not ideal for juice either.
And $300 is expensive since you can have a custom cam ground for $360 (TSP)

thanks for the answers guys.
Also, the cam says TURBO on the side of it, too. So, I am assuming that it was built with that in mind.
