408 Cam on the way

Nice solid street build for sure, I also run an od a833 and love it. I think that cam will work good for what you have, its a touch small for my taste but it will have torque for miles. The only thing I would say is it will not idle quite like a thumpr but it will still have a nice lope and great street manners.

Well, my thought was to lean a bit toward torque. Your description is about what I was going for. I guess the final proof is yet to come but I'm optimistic.
I plan to install advanced 4 degrees as long as Ken agrees. I suppose I could always try it straight up later for more top end.
I'm about to put steel bushings in the A833 OD. Found a friend with a Bridgeport I can use to do that, and open up my bellhousing to fit the bearing retainer which will be turned down on his lathe.
Glad you're liking yours. Is it stock or modded?
