Default Ken, Went through your pain

Ken,
When I built up the CJ 428 for my 67 GT-500. I was trying to have my cake and eat it too. Enough vac for the power brakes and a great motor. Some people warned me about to much cam. So I ordered a Com cam that was like 210 /213 @.050. The guy helping build the motor said it was to small and would fall on its face and he was Right. The motor had great bottom end and would get this lean feeling about 5000RPMS and start having a little miss above that. I tried to correct it by up jetting the carb and having the Carb worked over by Jet Performance and still did not cure the problem. Frustrating when you have so much money invested in a motor. It went 100 mph in the quarter, and I wanted so much more than that.
