Brent, again thanks for the reply and information.
I failed to say that it is a flat tappet cam and I do not have the cam card. I'm going by notes on paperwork.
I do cruise alot but hammer the car from time to time
( just can't help it). I don't live above 6000rpm.
Are you suggesting advancing the cam 4* when you say 106*ICL, meaning moving the Intake CL toward TDC? I'm sure I would have to check valve to piston clearance, which would require head removal. This would also take away the rough idle that I really like.
What is your opinion on the thumper/voodoo type cams that have short LSA. Is there a place for them on a motor that is looking for torque and good mid range?
I will eventually dig into this motor and do it my way, but for now I need a good year of crusin' before I inform the wife that my perfectly good running car needs to be taken apart
