With the Holley HCI setup it is supposed to be good for 350hp so it is probably a good one.
The price sounds good. If your lifters aren't bad (assuming they are hyd. roller, you can reuse them.

Every time I read about cam swaps you need to change your springs locks and retainers. Our valvetrain stock is hardly enough for our stock cam with .444 .444 lift (i dont know the duration or other stuff..Cuz I'm still learning. Well, hope I was a little help, someone will come on and tell you exactly what you need.

Need a little more info. What are the specs on the holley cam?, is your car Manual or auto?, what gear ratio does your car have?, is the car a daily driver?
