Default New cam, should I get it?

Hey guys my cousin is willing to give me his cam for next to nothing and I dont know how it would work with my setup. Its a 230/243 631/631 114, he ran it in a ls1 with livernois 243s, fast 90/90, lts and put 460 to the wheels. That was in his camaro. Ive searched everything and cant find a whole lot of people running this cam its an Edelbrock #2219.

Anyone running something similar to this grind? It would be going into a 2000 rcsb 4x4 with a ls1, yank 3600, lts and 4.10s.

Seems like nice specs for a LS1, curious why such a large split though? Sounds like a good FI cam, not that it wouldn't work NA. Make sure that you get some good dual springs if you go for it I personally like the looks of the Crane duals

Sorry for the late post guys. It will go into an ls1, I'm not sure which heads will be on it. I'm debating on which manifold to use. I'd like to use the ls1 manifold for the cleaner look along with coil relocation. I'll get some patriot dual springs for sure.
