new cam... what's your opinion?

I've never heard a complaint from anyone running that cam. A buddy of mine had a 340 with that cam and it ran real good. I had a 360 with the 274XE cam and we had the same heads and it ran decent but I'm sure Brian's 340 would have eat mine up pretty easy.

Your lift isn't going to be what you think though. Due to the angle of the pushrod to the lifter and rocker arms you lose some lift. With the 1.6 rockers it'll be close to what it's advertised at with 1.5 rockers.

BTW: good to see you back on the board Steve. haven't seen ya in ages
