I don't recall if the vam was installed advanced or not?
The engine is at my parents house, maybe I'll go get it and check the installed CL.
I did not want to give the wrong impression, the cam made power, but my stock converter and 3.23:1 gears made it slow off the line although that may have been partly the way the engine was tuned. I was using the stock advance curve in the Mopar distrubitor. It seemed to have good power from 2,500-5,000 RPM. I later did replace the rear gears with 3.91:1 ratio and used a single plane intake, but then I accidently over reved the engine. Went from third to first and had the dumb shift kit option that lets you do first gear at any speed. I think it may have hit 8,000 RPM? Result was a few bent intake valves.
