Default Questions on cam experience

Im putting together a LT1 for a 81 cutlass I'll be running longtubes with 2.5" duals, TH350 with a 3100-3400 convertor, and 3.73 gears. My question is: will a CC306 w/1.6 rocker = .544/ .576 be to much for stock heads and intake make for a crappy combo?

i dont want to build "a can of worms." and have chase problems caused by a poor combo

and yes i have tried the search button the results are posts that say "try using the search button" or answers from people who "have heard things" I'm looking for first-hand experience TIA
