To much cam??

the cam isn'ty too big but the specs are not going to yield pleasant street manners and it isn't cut for a mopar. small centerline, moderate duration and tiny lift = not good.

Another thing you have to consider is that you really don't have a big block. You have a physically large block with small block cubic inch. Anycam you put in it will seem a little biger than say somthing 100 cubic inches bigger.

Perhaps I'm being a little judgemental here, but these two statement implicitly contradict each other. First you say the cam is not too big, but that you have a short stroke engine so it'll act like a bigger cam than it really is. So, by that rationale, no cam is too big for anything but just be aware it may run like poo...also, when you compound the short stroke with a high duration/overlap cam with unknown but believed low compression, it only compounds the issues.

OP: Pretty sure you already knew that though.

How about this:

1) Cylinder pressure test
2) adjust your timing/curve
