I would say no. Last thing you want when doing technical obstacles is a motor that "you need both feet on the brake at an idle" because you don't have enough engine vacuum to work the power brakes.

Also I believe for that one to work you NEED an SCT.

Call Hughes and they will suggest the best cam for you based on your needs and the others mods you are doing. There's no way to be able to suggest a good cam without taking into consideration of all the other mods. If you truly what a good offload motor then you want something with a smooth idle and good vacuum at idle, with a low power band. With this criteria they will suggest a pretty mild cam.
