That is kinda frisky for a street oriented cam.
More street racer than street driver.
Used similar cams often for that purpose.
I would agree with Brent on the spring deal.
I used a Manley Nextec oval track spring on stuff like that when I was running traditional four stud rocker mounting - had around 220-230 seat and still only around 600 open.
Couple with a TI or tool steel retainer, set up installed as tight to .050 from bind as you could comfortably get - and they would do really well.
And I would look at that .012 as a cold lash target - should get you right around .020-.021 hot.
Sometimes hard to define "hot" and keep it consistent through the lash process. But room temperature cold is easy.
