Thanks for the info.
It should be about 9 to 9.5 to one compression. I really do not see how it would be that bad, but you must know something I do not. I am no cam expert. That is how I got roped in two this dam thumpr cam on the recommendation of comp cams. I ran a MP 484 in a 318 in high school in a charger. Drove it every day, and loved it. This is a much liter car, with more converter, and more gear. I sure am not going to go to this trouble of building an engine just to put a little smooth idling cam back in. If I was going to do that I would just leave the engine in the car that is in there. I just do not see how it is to big. But I am open to ideas.
What about this cam?

Would it be noticeable in a 318?
