well... I just removed my solid lifter cam with about the same profile as the one listed above, after much consideration, testing, and repeated research. My e-Brock heads are very ported, with intake matching, high-end rockers and all...

I removed it and replaced it with one step down in duration, and dropped from .640 to .585 lift - and yahoo! Much better... the old cam sounded really roudy, but it just ran like crap under 3K rpms on twisty mountain roads. I don't drag race my car either... The new cam sounds deeper, still roudy, runs and pulls much harder in the midrange, and much more fun to drive. I'm glad I tried the big cam... Then I hated it till I changed it out. Don't get me wrong, the new cam still sounds awesome. It just runs a heck of a lot better now...and is much more FUN! Bigger isn't always better IMHO.
