AC Ventura,
In my Kirkham I have a TKO600/.82, 3.42 and the cam has legs.
In my Shelby (Street 427) I have a TKO600/.64, 3.54 and the cam is milder than most.

The .64 only makes sense if you can cruise in the mid to upper 80's. With the Shelby's cam I can cruise at lower rpms. On the Kirkham it would be a no-go, rear ends notwithstanding.

In other words, if the .64 was in the KMP, I'd be bummed.
You'll get quieter and more economical cruising with the .64 but you'll be movin'. The cam will tell you what it wants.
