Looks to me like a Merc cam, (If you can find one), is the best choice for a street motor. If you don't already have it, buy "JWL"'s book and look at the torque figures he got from an Isky Max-1 (oh yeah, I already own one.). Looks like a waste of money to me; and if "Ol' Ron" says a "77B" is worse, I'd run real fast from that one.
Antybody want to enter into this discussion?

For this build I would also recommend The KiWi-L100 cam I can also grind you a Merc grind if that is what you choose. You would need to be sure you had enough valve to head clearance with your Edmunds Custom heads . For an intake so as to keep your stock genny & fan I would suggest a Thickstun or a tall manifold with the setback like a Thickstun .
I would recomand that you also balance your rotating assembly .
Have fun !
Cheers
