Because of my high gear ratio's I needed a cam that would pull well from a lower rpm than I was running, which was a 3000 to 7000 profile. Real bad bog at low rpm I never could overcome, it just hated ANYTHING below 3000.

Very interesting your comments about the dual pattern cam. I am running the 294S advanced 5* on install. I am beginning to understand why maybe a dual pattern would have been worth considering. My car runs VERY well, but I can "feel" that there is a LOT more power in this engine that I haven't released yet due to timing and carburetion. I have been preoccupied sorting out the overheating issue and just common problems associated with putting a new car on the road. At present state, if I am in 5th gear at 65 mph its almost bucking and I am running about 1800 rpms. If I floor it, with my sidewinder and 750 Mighty Demon it pulls immediately and relentlessly like a freight rain and Gawd knows where the top is, somewhere way the hell north of 140 mph.
