Hi Neal,
Sounds like a good Ford street cam. Motorsport cams have 112 degree centerline with good torque and top end,should be strong to 6,000 + rpm.The hard part of selecting a cam is not to go wild with it, unless it's a race only engine. The lift is getting up there, if you want your valve springs to last more than a couple seasons don't go any higher with the lift.I run a mild cam in my cobra as it gets you off the line faster on the street and you can live with the gas mileage.Bigger cams will make a few ponies more on the top end but I'm long gone by then.Your webers will have trouble with reversion if the cam has lots of overlap,I'd stay with the cam you selected. Love to see your Fourty! Good Luck.
Perry.
