I ran a b-303 cam with pretty much that same set up and loved it. It had great mid-upper rpm pull.
also had a nice choppy idle.

I'm not expert but if you are running stock springs, retainers, locks etc and 1.7RR it would best best to stick with the stock cam.
For starters you may run into PTV clearance. Then with the TFS1 cam it has a Valve Lift with 1.6 Rocker Arms of .499 in. intake/.510 in. exhaust. With 1.7 RR it's .530 in intake/.542 in. exhaust. I am not sure what the stock springs are rated for but I would guess that it's either right at the border or over the limit.

Just my thought spend the money on a cam that needs to be ground you will make way better HP then any off the self cam with the same numbers. Ramp speeds and lobe sepperation is more important then most guys think.
If that is not an option for you i would reccomend a Anderson motorsports cam........

I think you're brave putting a Turbo Coupe T5 behind that engine.
