if your talking about putting "that" cam into a virtually stock c5- no other work...maybe headers and exahust....its going to be a pig...no bottom end at all. that is a HUGE cam for a race only (i am sure others will say you can drive it on the street) but there is a big difference between something that is able to be driven daily vs taken out every blue moon.
if your looking to do things in stages....i would save up your .02 and put on ported heads when doing the cam...that being said...i think you would be far better served looking for a cam in the mid 220 range 550 lift on a 112 to 116 center line for a true street cam...
