Just another cam pick question.

I found this cam that looks to keep a higher cylinder pressure for a low compression 1972-up LA 340. Any comments, please?
I have the 108* 484 lift Purple from 1978 and it's got 125 lbs/ each, too low and I think it's due to the 108* separation. I does run 12.80 et @108mph.

Your current camshaft has about 241 degrees of duration at .050 lift..the howards you linked to has 208/214 degrees of duration at .050.....the howards will idle like a stock cam....might bump up the cranking compression...and will likely lose HP in the top end...due to less duration..
