I ran cam #1 (.236@.050) in my last car with a 428, solid lifter, running 9.8:1 compression. It was actually mild on the idle side (to me) in a Cobra. I would have like to tried the next cam up. It had incredible power from 2500 to 5000 though. I found it would pull on other comparable Cobras with bigger cams, up to about 5500 rpms. I have two friends that run this same (236@.050) cam in a hydraulic version, and it sounds a tad bit more radical at idle than the solid lifter version. I preferred the solid version, winding up so smooth and clean - effortlessly. Either solid/hydraulic seemed to idle fairly smooth at 850 rpms or so, and really smooth at 950 - in my setup. Good luck.
