C7FE cam would be a big step backwards if your running a roller now. They sound good. I have one I took out of a 67 Shelby. My kids want me to put in in my Gurney Eagle engine because they think it would sound so cool. They also think it would pick up a bunch of power because it has such a mild hyd cam in it now.


Do you feel you need a bunch more power or just more RPM to carry you thru if you need it.

I am just a hobby guy that likes small block ford engines. I dont have to pay for any engine work. I do all my own work.

I agree and if I was unclear, I'm not saying that Jim should run a factory flat tappet. I'm suggesting a new solid roller with specs that correlate to the application.

I know, I was just asking if the lobe separation, lift, duration, etc., were in line with what you were thinking. I have no plans to go backwards in time and put in and old school cam.. Just helping me understand your thought process.
