Cheap cam choice..... and realize a lot of these build articles use free parts, are for promoting the magazine and advertisers, and the suppliers provide what the suppliers want..... hence the Summit cam.
That cam is not what I would use for a low compression engine at all for street driving and wanting it to 'scoot' when starting off. It is just not made for that use.
BTW, with the heads and putting on new springs..... can you ask the shop to wait on the springs until you choose the cam? I assume they would put on stock springs. Since you are doing it, it would not be any big thing to put on some 340 springs, which will be of benefit if you ever rev this thing up past maybe 4.5-5k RPM.
