Camshafts: What effect does increased lift have on performance?

This is the cam that was in the engine:

It is a cast iron core so it also has the standard stock oil pump drive. I rode in the car that had this engine, it ran great but that car only had a 3.23 and he ran it with 360 cast manifolds. My Dart has a 4.10 and will have headers. The 308 heads had springs to match the cam, there were no signs of piston to valve issues or detonation.
I'll need new pistons but will use this cam again. I just noticed that the Hughes cams had more lift than other brands of cams that I have seen.
That cam you have circled is a fine everyday driver. I e used very similar specs on a HFT with very good results. Even in low compression 318’s that turned high 14’s in the 1/4 w/3.21 gears on stock size tires.
