Default Camshaft question

I was trying to find some information on a nitrous cam for a 5.3 build and came across this one from Tick Performance.
240/246 | .630”/.615” | LSA113+2 designed for all 4.8 & 5.3 Engines including LR4, LM7, L59, LM4, & L33 with Cathedral Port Heads.

I currently have a Cam Motion 236/242 .633/.617 LSA 112+4 that was spec'd out for 1.8 rocker arms and would like to know if this cam would be a good choice in a standard bore 5.3. I have an LS6 intake, stock throttle body and MAF, non ported 243's. Car will have a 6 speed manual and a posi with 4.56 gears? We plan on running a plate system with a 200hp shot.

You might have to go back to 1.7 rockers with that cam. Check the lobe lift to see if it would lift the valves too much with the 1.8 rockers

I was thinking about staying with 1.7 rockers but I was curios if you could run the LS7 1.8 exhaust rockers.
