Mixed Camshafts

Any informed opinions, please, on the likely performance of a Big Valve engine, Stromberg, with QED360 inlet cam and Std Sprint exhaust?

My understanding is the QED 360 is essentially the same grind as the sprint cam so it should be the same as having 2 sprint cams.

Which is more-or-less what I hoped, thanks Rohan. I'm endeavouring to transform a US-Federal low-compression emission-controlled engine into something like a UK-spec S4.
So I have removed the emission controls, changed inlet and exhaust manifolds, new vacuum-less distributor. Next is to take 40 thou' off the head and fit new camshafts. Or maybe high-compression pistons and camshafts, not sure yet.
By the way, this is all happening to a Europa TC, but this board is much more knowledgeable!
