cam duration

Depending on how much lift you want there will be limits on how short you can go. A roller will allow a steeper ramp than a flat tappet. Sounds like you may need to call one of the custom cam grinders and let him help you make a choice.

i have sourced both Lunati and Comp with my complete build and they are suggesting 230 / 236 int and exhaust.
i was hoping something around 216 / 220 (intake) might bleed off enough...I also would like a fairly clean,smooth idle
