Yep. Doug, I don't know the specs on a 427R motor, compression ratio and the like, but if you post them the gallery here will recommend a cam that gives you more low end torque for improved drivability. Now, it's never going to be a stroked FE, but it will definitely let you enjoy the driving that you're actually doing. I don't know with a small block SPF if you can pop a new cam in without pulling the engine or not, but it's still a one day job for a decent mechanic... and a two day job for the rest of us.
