I love the cam spec, which I think is middle of the road, not too big and not too small. I probably could have gone one more notch up to make more HP, but all in all, very happy with the choice.
Rodnock,

Is your cam a hydraulic or solid roller? I'm now selecting a cam for my Shelby stroker (468 or 482 haven't decided yet), and your cam seems to be about right for my Kirkham, mainly street driven but with some track use. However, I want a rough idle and race sounding package so I am leaning towards the shorter stroke engine. I like the idea of the solid roller cam, but I feel it won't live long for street use?
