That is a useless cam for that converter, I assume you are running a solid cam already ?. Seems like a reasonable choice to me. Bash some bottle in it while you are the there

Once you go past a mild street cam spec,you are looking at better pushrods,better valve seals,screw in studs,valve springs,valve collets and retaine

It doesnt have to be crow. there are many decent cam grinders out there. bent push rods are

They are a good all round unit designed for both low and high revs. the torker is pretty well a strictly high rev manifold being only a sin

You can bet ya knacks that it does its best breathing from 5000-6800 tho. Lets get u to do some thinking........ How hard u gunna rev it and for how long ?Think u can hold 500
