Thats so close to stock I wouldnt even bother unless you have no cam at all. Should run on a stock tune but its always a + to get it right even if it "feels" ok.

With 1.6s it may net you 15-20rwhp. You may also look into new springs if going to 1.6s. With any camshaft change, a tune would be in your best interest.

Kinda looks like the specs for a flat tap though.

Looks like that cam is ground on 112 LSA which is probably tighter than the stock cam. The tighter LSA may call for a slightly higher idle speed, but that would depend on what LSA you're currently running (how much tighter the above cam actually is).

You could always call PCMFORLESS for their feed-back since they tune all sorts of cams and engine combinations.
