Clois,

You will find it WELL worth your effort to buy a dual pattern cam and stay away from the straight patterns. If you get one that has about 10 or so more degrees duration and maybe 10 or so more thousanths lift on the exhaust side you will be suprised at the increase in power. It helps compensate for the restricted exhaust ports on the FE. Comp has a couple nice ones I've had real good results from in their extreme series. Their website is great for researching options. Also, if streetability is an issue, try to stay at or above about 112 degrees lobe seperation. This will smooth out the lumps at idle and get the vaccuum signal a little higher.
