Welcome to the site -
If you havent found your way to the internal engine section
https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...cam-guide.html
This is a great write up for a front to back of what to know about cam's
When making a decision on cams there are so many contributing factors-
Daily driven? Auto , 6 speed? Worried about mpg at all?
There are so many threads like what you have just posted - do a lot of research and get face to face with other people who have cammed their cars if you really can't decide .
Get past just watching videos and really start to read posts and you can learn a ton of information!@ Let us know more about your ride and we can help you more with basic advice.

From what I understand, that's nowhere near as big as some cams out there on stock heads and pistons, so you should be ok, but I'd double check the ptv clearance before you fire her up. If anything, possibly a slightly thicker head gasket would help.

Search around for people who have used that cam. It may be hard to find as I honestly don't know of a lot of people running that cam (Probably because it doesn't have a cool nickname). If you come up empty handed, call Texas-Speed and see what they have to say about it.
