It's funny how cars often go faster with tiny cams. They might not sound as mean at idle, but you don't have to spin them up to 4500 rpm to get into the powerband. Nothing like having your cam just start to work right at the shift point. With that much duration, I hope the motor has at least 11:1 compression, it will need it.
