This was not the most correct camshaft for this engine. We had started the build thinking we were going to use some CNC ported Edelbrock heads so I went with a 240/243 @ .050" hydraulic roller, .580" lift, 109 LSA.

We switched to the TFS heads mid-build and I hated to ask him to shell out another $425 for a different camshaft. The cams for the TFS heads need more duration split. Probably could have squeaked out another 10-12 hp.

All-in-all, it doesn't have vacuum for power brakes, but it's mild enough for his wife to drive the 4600 lb beast around town. It's also rowdy enough to be shifted at 7000 rpm when he's drag racing.
