That's a big one! I don't know but you might need to provide some info about your heads before any of the fart smellers around here can give you a decent answer. Valve size...rocker ratio...milled heads...etc

If that duration at .050 is correct, that cam probably won't work with stock anything.

I wouldn't use any cam that didn't come with the cam card, as there is little way to be sure it is round and installed correctly.
