I just wanted to report what the final decision was on the cam selection for the purpose built street engine with max rpms of around 5300 rpms. It was great to consult with Brent and to discuss his experiences and possible options. In the end we agreed that the best course of action was to stay with the Comp HE 260H, 212 dur. at .050 cam that I have in the engine. The cam will rev to about 5300 and will meet my needs for the low end, and allow me to cruise in 5th at around 1800-1900 rpms. Brent felt that if the engine was being built again he would use the XE 256 or the XE 262, but it's not worth changing over now to pick up 5-10 hp on the top end that I may not even notice. Thanks Brent.
