I should have asked this question some time ago but I didn't and now am second guessing myself and the guy at Comp Cams that made the reccomendation. I think I bought to small a cam graemlins/clonk.gif for my combo.......I would appreciate you guys looking at my combo again and give me an opinion. Since I bought a custom small base circle grind I probably can't return it now :( . Evne though I have posted my combo before here I go again!

400 SB .040 over
5.7 Scat rods
3.75 stock crank
462 double humps ported w 2.02/1.60 valves & 1.5 Crane gold rollers
Torker II intake
1 5/8 headers
2 1/2 exhaust w/ Flowmaster

ST-10 4-speed
power brakes & steering
no air
10-bolt w/ 3:90 & Auburn posi

That covers the car and engine combo. I decide to go with one of Comps Xtreme solids, specifcally the XS274. Here are the specs on the cam:

@ .015 lift 274/280 Adv 236/242 @ .050
Gross lift .501/.510
Valve timing @ .015

Wayner,

This was an accidental post that was incomplete. I did complete it and re-post it under the same heading and have received many good replies. Ultimately I Have decided to go with an Isky Z60 solid grind this time.......292Adv...259@050 and .528 lift...108LSA. If you care to read through the other post there were more details on my combo and why I though my original cam choice was a mistake. Any additional input is welcome.
