Better have some good rod bolts if the cam doesn't come in till 5K, unless you shut it down at 7K or less. 1000 to 5000 is a long time to wait, just to change gears 1800 rpms later. It will get a lot of attention idling in the parking lot though, LOL.

Even with LS3 heads, you're still only looking at about 9.7:1.
Think about it this way...how expensive are cams anyway? A few hundred bux?
In order to save a measly $200 you're willing to compromise the driveability of you car?
Why not sell that cam on here for a profit most likely (if you got a good deal on it) and then spend some $350 for a brand new cam that will work much better with your setup. Mill the heads a bit to gain some compression back and watch your car be a lot more fun.
