Default New mild build. Did I buy a decent cam for this setup.

So I was in another build w a 71 c10 and sold it off a few years ago and have been sitting on my current setup. I have an 07 6.0 lq4 w carbed manifold and 232/248 595/595 112 cam. I also have twin valve springs in l92 heads factory fresh. I purchased an 870 holley for on top that may be too rich but I figured I could jet down if needed and its all going to be sparked off by msd 6ls ignition box. I have a hughes 3000 stall behind in a 71 th400 trans going to stock rear for now in a soon to be 2002 gmc sierra. I have to yank motor and trans out of it currently as current motor is 280k mile 4.8 and a wiped out 4l60. Anyone got an idea what this thing will run like and did I make reasonsble choices. I plan on headers, gears and in future turbo and eventually back to fuel injection but its what I have. It will just be a fun driver, not a needed daily as I have another daily.

That’s way more cam then you need, to much cam for a 3000 stall.

Thank you. Any suggestion what convertor I should move up to, or would it be easier to change cam. Will it be sluggish or just plain miserable to drive?
