Almost any LT1 combo will run better with a "split pattern" cam - more exhaust duration tham intake. Also, that is a hella big cam for a car that will see street time, especially with stock heads. Basically, I think it will suck. No vacuum and not much power. You need a split pattern, less duration, and more lift. You also didn't specify the LSA, which is extremely important and gave no info about how you plan to use the car. Also, knowing your rear end ratio would be useful.
