Is it too much for what?
TBI....no, meaner setups have been done, although this cam is not for the prom burning newbie. Not planning to do your own tuning? Don't even think about this cam. You'll need a 2" TB with some big injectors to feed it, the EBL would do wonders.
Supporting mods......This cam would be too much unless you already have a full exhaust intake and possibly a decent set of heads. You could try this on a set of stock heads, but the heads would be giving up about the time this cam started working which would result in a very narrow power band. I run a 218/226 cam with stock heads and it's deffinatly a compromised setup.
Mechanically.....The lift is way too much for any stock head and valvetrain. You'll need to have the guides cut down to make sure your retainers don't get friendly with your valve seals. You'll also need a decent set of springs and possibly a set of long slot rockers to prevent bind. I've heard of guys getting away with stock rockers with that much lift, but I've personally seen the slot in the rocker kiss the stud with lift near .480".
