Default Cam for this build. 355 L98

I have a list of everything that is done to this truck. Pulled the cam, lifters, and pushrods out and all are shot. Every lobe grinded down, same for every lifter and pushrod. Okay well we decided to go with the Edelbrock Performer RPM cam. Not sure how big the stall is but I wanna say 3200. I think this is actually a perfect cam for what's done to this 355. The motor originally came out of a Corvette withins the years of 86-88. Let me know what you think. Here is the picture of the list...

Should work fine, assuming it was a flat tappet, a cheap one will take a crap like that. Break it in right and it should be ok, but todays oils are not like they used to be in the flat tappet hay day. Roller or nothing for me.

Thanks for the reply. I am taking proper procedures for this and taking as much time as I need to get it done. I'm not about to eat another cam. I chose this cam because it seems almost perfect for my setup. Its a high end power cam and the motor already has low end power thanks to the L98 and big 4.11 gears + slicks. Next project is a 400 SBC in my lt1 car
