Not really sure what the question is.
Typical EFI cams have 112-114 LSA. A cam with 107 LSA wouldn't run very well in an EFI car.
Is that what you're asking?

87 IROC-Z Pro ET Bracket Race Car
383 stroker (carbed) with double hump cast iron heads and pump gas
461 Big Block installed and ready for the 2001 racing season
Best results before the 383 blew up
Best ET on a time slip: 11.857 altitude corrected to 11.163
Best MPH on a time slip: 117.87 altitude corrected to 126.10
Altitude corrected rear wheel HP based on power to weight ratio: 476.5
Best 60 foot: 1.662
Racing at 3500 feet elevation but most race days it's over 5000 feet density altitude!

107 / 117 - I'm assuming this is a 112 lobe seperation cam with 5* advancement setting the intake center on 107 and exhaust center on 117????? Overlap effects idle quality,, and while the wider lobe seperation,, the less overlap you have,,, you've asked a blind question of us not knowing what the duration on the cam is.

That's pretty close to the specs for my overall favorite cam for a 305. It'll idle pretty smooth and should give very good throttle response. I'm sure you'll be pleased with it.

Car: 89 IROC
Engine: Yes
Transmission: That, too.
Yes. It will work fine, and pull plenty of vacuum. The valve overlap on that cam is pretty short, so you will have a good steady idle. It isn't very radical, so you shouldn't have much trouble with the computer's keeping up with the fuel enrichment curves, but you may consider getting an AFPR and installing it just in case you need a bit more fuel delivery to keep the motor happy with the new airflow.
I run a cam with 110 LSA and it idles like a purring kitten because the valve overlap is short. You will be fine with that cam.
