I would say it's more on the smaller side but then again I have a cam in the 238/242 range. If your trying to figure out if drivability would be effected, you should retain stock-like drivability with that cam with a slight lope. If you want a little comparison to the cam you mentioned, the cam in your car now is a 204/218 551/541 117.5lsa .
I suggest you read this to get a better understanding of cams and what the numbers all mean.

I would say it is in the middle range--there are many cams availiable that have less duration and more LSA than that--As mentioned above--i'd be sure about the "reverse split " type as well--unless you were specifically recc. this cam by your builder--i would pick a more conventional type--Also--if you are in an Emisions state that uses the snifter test be careful when going above .224/.224 with a 114 LSA--it will be borderline in passing

a reverse split wont get you more HP, it will give you more under the curve torque. but the 114 LSA negates that.
I run a comp cam 224/224 .581/.581 112, which is a good cam, but not that big. just over 400 rwhp & toruqe when tuned last winter.
If you want more HP, go with a bigger cam. LG G5X2 for example
change your underdrive pully too.

Here is my set up. I am trying to get to the 450+. I don't know if I want a ported fast intake, or to put a bigger cam in...

G5X4 240/244 low 600s 111
432rwhp 406 rwtq G5X-2 cam and LG Pro LT Headers, ported LS6 heads
To get more then you have ( 450+) you will need to go to a BIG cam, or big cubies

Or better heads. My cam's only 228-232, and I have WAY over 450RW.
