Default Would these work together well?

I'm still searching around on H&C combos. I was wondering how the gtp stage 2 heads with the single valvesprings would go with the comp cams 218/224 .527/.534 cam? I'm thinking pretty good duration for the heads, and a pretty safe amount of lift on single springs (this *is* my daily driver). It wouldn't require insanely <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> high shift points either right?

Well, I was thinking about the singles because it was $500 cheaper. I know you get what you pay for <img src="gr_emb.gif" border="0"> , but I've also seen some good low-lift cars out there. I'm looking for

I had that cam a year or two ago and it was great for drivability and seemed to make good power. If you get some double springs you dont need to worry as much about the lift and could maybe eek out a few more hp without really affecting drivability.
