Sounds like a LS1 cam. I have one I would let you have for cheap, but I cant get to it right now. I put it in my truck, and the powerband was a little higher but it ran good, very similar to my 206/212.

BTW personally I would go bigger. Something around 216/220 or so, maybe even bigger than that.

Hope you aren't paying much. I got mine for cheap. It idles good, and makes a little bit of power, but the powerband is up in the RPM's a little. I ran it with the stock converter etc.
