Default 510/520 cam

Guys,
I can get a good deal on a 510/520 cam. Since I have some nice factory ported and polished heads, a ported intake with a 52mm throttle body, 30lb injectors and some 7/16 1.6 rockers to match the studs and the beehive springs and to match would this cam be too much? This will not be a track car, but a three times a week kind of thing. I know with the 1.6 rockers it will have more lift. I little bit of a rough idle is ok with me. I know some afr's would do me better, but I dont have the afr cash. Please dime in.

Never mind. I did some checking on this guy and his products are kind of shaky and I don't need that.

Since you already have the supporting mods just buy a new camshaft, they aren't that expensive.
