You shouldn't have any issues putting it in at 102. But always check valve clearance before advancing the cam, Always know where you are at! Before going further, I have run that combo, same pistons and cam, ! Static compression can always be mipulated by he cams profile,, IE overlap. I always advance my cams ,and try to install close to 102 as I can get, I want the bottom end , get the car moving, good luck

We installed my buddies at 99.5 and he shifted @ 6800 to 7000. was in at 104 picked up 1 1/2 two tenths. it's a big cam likes it's rpms. Mopar calls for it to be installed @ 104 but 102 or 100 is better.

Not sure how that works. How do you change the overlap on the cam?

I'm sure he means different cams... we know you cant change the over lap without grinding To the OP question on the RPM... yes you move the whole curve lower in the rpm range so yes it has a lower rpm at peak power
