What is a hot street hydraulic cam that works well in one of these combinations. Are you using the valve springs that come on the head assembly or one from the cam company. Also, what is a good adjustable rocker arm for the $$ that can be used in this set up. Going in a E body with a automatic transmission. Thanks! Dan

Without more info,gearing,converter stall,importance of idle quality etc,it would be hard to give an accurate recomendation. Call Bullet racing cams and give Tim Goolsby all the info and don't second guess it. For a very nice and reliable rocker I've used several sets of rockers from Rocker arm specialist in CA. Nice price and great rocker for a street or street strip car. Don't make the mistake of thinking a "roller rocker" is needed or even wanted,it's not in this case.
I am looking to have a compression ratio of 11:1. Converter stall of around 2800 and a rear gear of 3:91. Idle is not important. What kind of cylinder pressure should I see with a flat top piston and the Edelbrock heads.
The reason I asked about the rocker arms, is because of what I seen stated with the cams shown for a stroker motor on the Hughs site. They say they are recomended due to stock rockers breaking.
If you are not going to use the Edelbock head/cam package in a motor, are you better off buying a bare head and matching the springs and other componets to the cam?
Thanks Dan
