The always elusive CAM question..

......and had the Crane Cam: Hydraulic Flat Tappet, Advertised Duration 278/290, Lift .467/.494, installed, and I really liked the sound and it ran quite well with a 2000 stall on it.

With a 2-3000 stall convertor, I am leaning more towards the first Cam (274/286, Lift .488/.491,), but is that to big? Will there be vacum issues (something I just learned about reading today) Or will that cam give me the low end hp and yet still be street reliable/driveable?

I'm running the cam (in bold print) in an old 70's Z28 350 I own. I like it. It's not too crazy and I'd think it would be compatible with a fairly decent build as you're describing, and it does have a noticeable lope, but not a vacuum-killing lope. That cam in the bottom link just sounds odd to me! 219/235@ .050?! And the cam in that 1st link may be a bit too hot, IMO......just my .02.
