Here's a little informative update to this older thread. ALWAYS verify your cam specs! i didn't and wasted 2 seasons of testing other areas in my pursuit of the 8's with a flat tappet and std port heads.
Out of 5 cams from 4 different companies, 2 were what they were supposed to be.....and not just a degree or so off. One was 8 degree's less on the intake lobe, the other 2 were around 5 degrees less on the intakes.
After putting 5 cams through it........ you should have a handle on what that combo wants.
