It's not the cam itself you have to worry about. It's the valve springs and retainers / push rods. The cam works by opening the valve more, putting more stress on the valve train.

I haven't looked in to this VQ motor enough yet to know how the valve train is laid out, but when I did the cam in my Challenger we did upgraded valve springs, retainers, and locks.
