Have fun with it and when you take it to the track take some video!
Similar to the Webers, the cam can give you issues with the fuel injection as well… Especially the self learning systems. They recommend at least 10 pounds of vacuum at idle. A simple vacuum test will give the answer of whether or not the current cam will work well with the system. Mine was right at 10 pounds so it gave me the confidence to go ahead with the conversion without changing the cam. I'm not sure that my cam would perform well with Webers though.
