I called Comp Cams and asked them....

They recommended the cam down from the one I was eyeballing....

That makes sense. They tend to go on the conservative side for some reason.

It's that very thing that screwed me on my last motor. I told them every spec and got them to recommend me a hydraulic roller cam. I didn't birddog it well enough....

They matched my Victor Jr. intake and Vic Jr. heads with a cam that petered out at 5400 rpms.

Figure that one out. It's my fault...I should have done more research before I bought a bumpstick.

I could have picked up 30-40 more horsepower with a larger cam (not that 491 hp and 500 lb-ft is bad or anything)....

That's why I'm going through all of this now.
