FWIW, some people on here have had bad experiences with racenet, some good, buyer beware.
I would definitely look for an alternate place to have your heads ported and polished. Some of the guys on this board will do a very good job on them (Skaradom, Nighttrain66) for a good price.
That cam is nice. You will need PCM tuning to be able to drive it like you want to though. I recommend 3.73 gears for auto and 4.10 for M6, unless you're adding a power adder later (Supercharger, turbo, or nitrous).

The cam will work with ported heads but it will be on the wild side. A couple of people have used that or similar cams on stock heads. But lke mentioned above, you'll need tuning to make the car run right and more gearing won't hurt.
As for racenet.com, I've been buying stuff from them for 3 years now and I've never had any problem. Its a fact that when someone is happy, he tells 3 people, when he is pissed off he tells 9 people and those 9 people tell 3 other people. So it only takes 2 or 3 people for a company to have a bad reputation. When you sell as much stuff as they do, you're bound to have a few unhappy customers.
That being said, my heads are with SkarodoM right now
