I too like this cam - however, if your heads are stock you'll have problems with the lift. Here's a link to a good article that's pretty detailed but the take away is,
" The factory Vortec heads use a light, single-wire valvespring with a damper that generates between 70 and 80 pounds of load on the seat. Because these heads are meant to work with a 1.5:1 rocker, their tall valve guides can only handle maximum valve lifts of around 0.420 inch." As such, a bit of machining is required along with the new springs.

I think the low 1st in the 700R4 (3.06) would give a real kick in the pants at about 3500 and you'd probably see God when you hit second at WOT with those 3:73 gears
Could be fun!
