Will I be hurting my power with a tfs3 cam and a 418?

I have a tfs 3 cam I got in a trade for some parts. I planned on using it in my 418 but after thinking I want to make sure I'm not going to be killing my power. I'm going to use vic jr heads for now. I plan on swapping them out next year with something bigger. I will be running a spyder intake and a 10.5:1 cr.

Here are the specs of the tfs3 cam

236 intake/ @.050
248 exhaust


.359"/.372" cam lobe

.574"/.595" with 1.6

110 lsr


How much more will a custom cam benefit me over the off the shelf tfs3 cam? This is going to be a daily driver and see the track once and a while.
