It is all stock and was thinking about getting this package from summit http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=CMB-03-0162&view=1&N=700+ After doing some reading I'm starting to think the Lunati cam might not be such a great idea? Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks

I used to run that cam in a 318 and it was fine, if it's an auto put a converter in that will footbrake 2,5-800 and if it's a 904 run a low gear set and 3.91's if it's a std 904 or 727 run 4.30's. It likes to be shifted at 6,200 and would run 81-82 mph in the 1/8 in an A body,
