Cam Evaluation/advice

I know very little about Cams except that they can effect how well your car idles and make a big difference in performance. I have specs for the cam in my Jasper engine and I was wondering if someone could tell me where it sits on the totempole or describe its characteriscs in laymens terms.
Cam specs as follows:
-Duration @ .050 Lift 202*/212*
-.437/.462 Lift @ valve
-112* of Lobe separtion
I'm pulling my car out of the emmissons testing zone in my state and am contemplating if a more aggressive cam would be benificail.

thats not much cam, i'm sure your preformance would increase if you up graded cams. i like lunati cams and valve train parts. i've had good results with cams from their bracket master series in street engines.
