The number that REALLY matters with cams is the intake duration at .050" lift.
Optikal's crane is 204.
The comp cam you're looking at is 218. That's a huge difference. I think that's a little too big for a 300 looking for low end.
If you're after a comp cam, (which isn't a bad thing, I like them), look at their "260" grind. It has a 212 duration. You'll hear it at idle, especially with headers and a fairly open exhaust, but it won't sound like a drag car, by any means. It'll have decent low end, and a snappy midrange.
