Thoughts on cam?

You can do a lot with lobe separation. I prefer a wide one with low compression because rather than a peaky engine you have an engine with a very wide and flat torque curve and more bottom end than with a tight lobe separation. You can also get by with much more duration @.050" with wide lobe separation and still have good idle and manifold vacuum to run accessories. Chrysler knew this. That's why all their hot camshafts were ground with wide lobe separations. They work best in a street car with 9.1 or lower compression.
