My 440 build

I think the camshaft is fantastic. Just because something doesn't have 250@ .050 or more duration doesn't mean it's a bad cam. That cam will pull your eyes out on the bottom end, have great street manners, have GOBS of vacuum to run power brakes and will idle in traffic forever. Run it.
So one of my friends is a retired engine builder and said exactly what you just said. For the street he said it would be awesome. He is assisting me in planning this and suggested this cam.
