FWIW - That is the CC305 cam and it is a very good cam for a stock setup with upgraded springs of course. I ran that cam in my 383 for many years and it is a good producer (very mild for a 383 I know). Emissions friendly (if you need to pass) and makes good power down low. However, it is pretty old tech and there are many new cams out there that produce more and will work better if you plan on future mods like ported heads, intake, headers, etc... The CC503 is one and it is probably best to go with a custom grind if you really want to get exactly what you are looking for based on your plans. Good luck.
