Not bad.... I take it XER lobes?
Should be around 0 overlap
The ported part is the only thing I see that could be an issue.....
The port quality is subjective to the porter and how maticulous they are with the porting...... If you have not ported them yet, I would not and I did not, especially for a 6.0.....
Just mill em....
Pick your camshaft timing events based on intent, street,strip,drag,weekend warrior,low end, mid range, top end, max effort, etc....... I would not pick based on a max effort for a dyno.....
Too many dyno cams going around........lol
Another thing I find guys leave out to make their cars quicker, they forget about gears and converter.....
Hell if you took a stock motor and changed out the rear gears and converter, it will 9 times out of 10 run like a completely different car and be much faster ie going from stock to a 3000 stall and 3.23/3.42 to 3.73-3.90......
just a side note.....

That's fairly close to what I'm sticking in my vette. 226/234 115 112
I'm expecting a 40 - 50 HP bump and hopefully close to stock driving manners when tuned.
A 3000+ stall converter would definitely help you. If you have no plans to get a higher stall, you'll want to advance that cam to get power down low.

If you're willing to take the time and money to swap yourself in a 2900ish + converter, that frees up lots and lots of GREAT cam choices that are slightly more rowdy but still have a few table manners.

too big for a stock converter.i would go with something smaller,but that's just my .02.i had a 220 cam,114lsa(347ci LS1) with the stock TQ in there for a few days before i had a 3000 stall installed,and it was soggy out of the hole.ask one of the sponsors to spec you something out for your needs,you will be a lot happier.
