I'd say for the weight of your car, the duration of a RAIV is alot. A shorter duration comp .480/280duration would probably give you better results. It takes some gear and converter to make the RAIV cam work real well. Big duration kills torque. It will be ok, sound good and all that, but it will be somewhat lazy in the lower rpm range(where you will be cruising). Just my 2cents
