Thank you for the compliment.I have had a few tell me it should idle around 850 or so ,but i had my doubts with the 108 lobe seperation it would.Im guessing /hoping i picked up 30-40 hp between the cam ,porting the heads ,and gasket matching everything ,plus alot more rpm potential with the light weight solid lifters and the 350 lb springs.I was worried about it puffing smoke out the headers since i have no valves seals .There was no room for an umbrella type with the double springs and i was too cheap to pay to have the guides machined down for the race type seals.Being a race deal i didnt really care if it smoked sum ,but im still glad it dont.I guess i will know when its time for another valve job as the guides get worn ,lol.This NOS cam is rated to 7000 rpm .Im gunna play it by ear to see where the power falls off ,but 6700-6800 will be the limit for me regardless .I want to make it live for a while if i can help it .The old cam i had would fall on its face about 100 foot from the end of the 1/4 and still managed high 11.30's at 6000.Im hoping to be flirting with the 10's now ...
