Default Getting a new cam

Instead of an intake swap I decided to install a properly sized cam for my setup. Let me know what you guys think, it was speced by Patrick G.

Cam recommendation: (2000 GMC Sierra X Cab with 402ci LS1, truck intake, 64cc Patriot Stage 3 heads, 4L80E with 3200 stall, 4.10 gears, 1 ¾” long tube headers with no cats, 6400 rpm shift point, 6800 rpm rev limiter, 200-250 shot N2O)
236/244 .612”/.630” 113LSA +4 advance (with 1.8 rockers)
Comp Cams XE/XE high lift lobes
•Static/Dynamic Compression with new cam: SCR: 10.59:1, DCR: 7.90:1
•Recommended springs: Patriot Gold duals
•Recommended pushrod length: 7.425”.

sounds like a nice setup , say goodbye to your rearend if it's stock haha

not to get off topic, but would nitrous possibly kill springs using the 1.8 rockers and a big cam? In my head I don't think it would if you had the proper springs, but I've never used the 1.8 rockers.
