Cam Question...

I've been looking around for a cam for my truck and by talking to some reliable sources i chose the Comp 268H. Its for a 5.0EFI that i have in my truck. So i have 2 questions 1) is this a good choice...this is the first mod that i have done to it i'm also looking into headers, intake, and ignition mods. and 2) the specs for this particular cam i've chosen are "duration 268/268 lift .456/.456" now i don't understand exactly what the numbers mean. So can someone please explain to me what they mean??

The guys in this forum know that engine and cam the best. They can explain the meaning of those numbers and relate them to your engine requirements and specs.
