Yeah, it was a tough call but I;m going to send it back and I already ordered a Comp Cam from Summit tonight.
I went with the 292* .518/.518 (244*@.050) 110* LSA
I know this cam is borderline "unstreetable" but this car is my "playtoy" and doesn't get driven often.
I anticipated new valve springs with the other cam anyway. I didn't think pushrods were an issue unless I had hardened valve guides.
Other than that, I have the exhaust, headers and in a month or so I'll get the stall converter.
One thing for sure is that this sucker is going to have one hell of an idle!
