Exactly. Cam's don't need to have a radical idle to work well in a mild built street engine. Too big and you may need a higher stall converter and rear gears to make it work.
Yeah.. i actually was just reading up on their whiplash cams and they said anything over 8.6:1 will probably need octane additives. which at 9.8:1 i think i would rather not have to have.
"This cam will run on pump gas in a 318 with 8.6:1 or less compression and iron heads. If your compression is higher than this you may need to use a higher octane race fuel."
And i plan on a converter and gears.. i'm just too cheap to shell out what people are asking for the parts right now :) I will bite the bullet eventually though.
