Doug, I don't know if you read the description of the engine in the vid, but this is interesting: "... the camshaft was ground with a 113-degree lobe separation angle and 242/248 @ .050-inch-lift duration numbers. Rabotnick was unwilling to disclose lift numbers, but we can say that they are ‘healthy’."

I saw it. I'm going to change out the cam. Brent's going to do a custom grind (we haven't talked about what yet). My Holman Moody "B" cam is in great shape so I may sell it along with the Lemans rods and TRW pistons.

I think that's a good plan. Post the specs when you decide on them.

Humorous.  Note that the duration and LSA Barry chose for the cam in that vid are pretty darn close to my 54 year old "K" cam.

That's beefier than what you've got now. The "advertised duration" of your current cam is 324 degrees (IIRC), but they measure it from a different spot, so you really can't compare it easily. The .050" numbers are significantly harrier than 245/245 106 LSA and .500" lift after your lash is taken out.
