That's a nice torque motor, guessing it's stroked. Valve springs and coil bind will need to be checked also with a bigger camshaft. Piston clearance to valve also If this cam is more that .650". Are the pistoned dished , flat topped or domed will also effect the camshaft size. Hope the machine shop was a good one. Good luck. Rick L.
Rick,

The engine is a 468 SR FE Roush. I know valve spring and piston clearance need checked. I would also degree the cam.

My guess is flat or dished pistons because the Roush compression is set for street use on premium.

Again, just considering options to get the best drivability within the package I have. A cam is easy to change on an engine stand but a pain to change in the car.
