If all else were right, that cam or one similar in a custom grind (but better specs as Brent is referring to) would be terrific on the street. Should have better street manners than my XR 294 but about the same horsepower and torque readings- but at more street friendly range.
Where do you live? Maybe you could have someone close by come over and show you how to determine Head and piston volume measurements, degreeing a cam, and if it were me, I would be checking your piston to valve clearance while you're at it. All things you could do yourself with a little technical guidance in a weekend.


Still, a piston dish measurement is just about mandatory before doing anything else.
