Correct, just street driven and I just wanted the power/torque a bit lower in the rpm range. Swapping our and breaking in another flat tappet cam that's better suited for my application/wants just doesn't seem worth the effort, risk or cost. This all came about because I have the engine apart to replace some gaskets and freshen up the paint and detail. Uncovering the timing chain and knowing that the crank gear has the advance/retard keyways started the ideas in my little head so....

My guess is you want seat of the pants power, but yet want to drive down the highway at a lower rpm.....right ?
