I'm running those 3:31 gears with a top loader close ratio. I to had a BIG cam with high compression, difficult to tune to say the least. Ran like stink at the drag strip, 11.90 and I wasn't even trying that hard! Hell on the street though.

So I looked on Gessfords web site to see what HE recommends. What kind of typical cam does George sell, I asked myself. I wanted a cam that would work in the 2500 to 6000 range for a more "streetable" engine. He recommened solid flat tappet cam, just like the one he has on his web site! Also geting the matching springs for less less pressure. I was running a soild roller cam before.

I also changed my carbs from full blown race center squirters to a more mild vacuum secondary Holleys.

Of course you will probably want to stay with hydraulic, but your onto something big. Most motors are just built "to much". I like to cruise! You might give George a call.
