Default Need Opinions on Camshaft

Guys, first post here. I have ended up with a brand new crate LS3 for my 69 Camaro (430 HP version). Initially, it will be equiped with a set of 1 7/8 headers from DSE, and it comes with a camshaft and springs (not yet installed) from Comp--pn 146-456-11. Specs are as follows;

219/235 @50 with the 1.7
607/621 on 113

Couple of questions, if installed at the 113, are there any piston to valve issues that I need to be wary of? What type of power/torque am i looking it with the cam/header install---ideas?

This is my first LS motor, so I am excited, yet slightly apprehensive at the same time. Any input/advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch

Doug

You should be fine for P to V clearence, but you better check to be sure. My cam is almost identical, but 8* degree's larger on the intake, and 1* wider LSA. I dont know what kinda power its gonna make(guessing 450ish crankshaft) but it should run good if you take it to the track.
