Thats a fairly mild cam. Aside from the mechanical considerations, such as whether the heads are up to running the lift provided by the cam, you will want to do some tuning. But, the cam should work very well with TBI. It doesnt have a lot of duration and relatively mild overlap.

Also, what kind of heads do you currently have on the motor? Are they set up for more lift? That cam has close to .5" of lift, which is quite a bit. It will also want better springs than stock due to the more aggressive profile. If your running stock L03 heads, that cam wont help performance very much due to the limitations in flow. That cam is best used with heads like vortecs and others that have good flowrates at higher lifts.
