Sounds like a good upgrade. It is similar to what I ran in my first motor. Picking a camshaft is hard sometimes unless you have a dyno program to punch in the cam specs. and your engine specs. to give you a rough idea how it will work.

At least the camshaft is split pattern, more exhaust duration is good for running Nos. Your gains in HP will be directely depend other things too, exhaust, intake, ignition, and fuel system.

Good looking cam. Probably a good pick for a TPI setup. Is your TPI setup stock or modified? What is the duration at .050" on that cam? That will tell you a lot about ramp rates etc.
