How did you learn,to tame big cams on the street?....

I think the key is in the timing. That's the biggest factor that made all of mine doable. It always ended up that when I THOUGHT I had enough timing in it, I never did. Once I got it straightened out, all was well.

I know what you mean there. Still trying to get the timing set on my 318 soon as I get a yoke I will finish tuning it.
