Default Torquer V3 cam in a Trailblazer SS.....yes or no??

I have a chance to get a Torquer V3 on a 111 lsa for a very reasonable price. I have a 2006 Trailblazer SS with full bolt ons including a level 6 RPM transmission and a 3600 stall Yank. I have 1 3/4' Kooks headers, high flow cats. Trailblazers were geared with a 4.11 gear and I have True Forged 17" wheels with a 28" tall Mickey Thompson ET Street now. I need to know with the mods my truck has and the 3600 stall torque converter if this cam will be good and make a good strong driver. If I get this cam I will probably go ahead and get some ported 243 casting heads. Give the specs of the cam what would be the best company to order heads from? Thanks guys

Texas Speed Torquer V3 231/234 .643/598 Camshaft

This is a link of the cam specs. 231/234 .643 .598 and like I said it was a 111 LSA I am not sure 100% sure if it is too big or not. I think with the 3600 stall it will be fine but the more opinions and first hand experience the better

I rode in a tbss with a futral f13 (230/232 591/585 112 + 4 Iirc) and a yank st3500. It was perfect IMO.

My friend ran this cam in his stock shortblock 4th gen Camaro with TSP 2.5 heads. Car ran really well. Put down almost 450rwhp through a 3400 stall and full boltons etc.. Cant remember the tq numbers. Had a nice idle and he daily drove it. Would probably have slightly less lope in a 6.0.

I was thinking it would be a good choice, but it was near the top of the duration I had in mind and it has lots of lift

Yeah with those lift numbers you'll want a reliable valve spring and probably want to keep a tab on spring pressures if it's a daily driver.
