Not sure what the timing specs of this cam is. But I'd look for a cam with less than 220 duratin and .350 lift. This will keep the torque in the driving range, I used the EAB/EAC cams.

Ron, the engine in Hot Rod has special oversize cam bearings to give .470" lift. Duration is given as 270/280 deg. at .050 lift. But compression is only 9.2 to 1.
