That is a good step up from stock.

Since you have a T5, you don't want anything too wild, anyway.

That depends upon what you are trying to achieve. I'm just saying the cam is better than a stock cam, and would work okay with the other things you have. You could get a bigger cam if you like, but a T5 can only handle a limited amount of abuse.
