I've seen this before... It ain't as wise a thought as one might think.

Comp cams don't build engines, and while they can tell you how a cam might work, they never seem to take into consideration the sum of the parts. Just what their little spec sheet, play book says. Anecdotally it often misses the mark.

Hitting up an engine builder like Brent for instance, who has multiple build experiences to draw from. Plus I think he actually has a Zen feel for how fuel charge and exhaust particles are effected with subtle changes in lift, duration and lobe separation etc etc... It's a good call.

Just my humble experience.


Clois. I'd live to know where you end up.
Your cam does seem pretty big for 430odd cubes.
