Default Cam Question

Interested in putting a cam in my C6 Base. Has American Racing Headers, Vararam, Ported Throttle Body, Cherry Bomb Axle Back and Sprint Booster. Non-Racing Car

I found a custom grind comp cam for sale on here the Data is:

CAM SPECS INT l EXH

ADV DUR .273 l .285
DUR @ .050 .223 l .235
VAVLE LIFT .610 l .620
LSA 117°

My question is can someone tell me by the data provided whether this is an aggressive cam or mid-level? My car is a for the most part daily driver. Any help would be appreciated.

That cam would be a pretty mild cam in a LS3 or LS2....

That is an LSL profile which uses softer ramps and work good

i just installed the tsp 229/236 cam in my 08 ls3 manual trans car. lg motorsports headers off road x and borla mufflers. car sounds super nice and it drives like stock and only took like 30 min to do idle and part throttle tuning. car drives so nice i let my 65 year old day drive it. no stalling and min. amount of surging below 1500 rpm. youtube search for an idle clip its under long idle ls3 tsp 229/236 cam. and it pulls super hard
