Default Thanks for the reply guys

Rick, Jack21, John, Rick

Thanks for your input. The block (and everythng else) is Shelby. Using hydraulic flat tappet and roller rockers I have spent a great deal of time on the phone with Mike. Based on MY definition of streetable, he suggested a Comp cam with duration @ 275 I - 285 E and lift @ .515 I - .541 E.
He also said my current setup would easily accept 300 duration and .600 lift (with zero modifictions) and should increase H.P. by 20%.

The difficult part here is, "What is the definition of streetable"? It is different to everyone. I just want to try not to under/over spec the camshaft........ either one will be dissapointing.

To sum up:

I WILL get a copy of Desktop Dyno, give a call to the cam mfr's, and Rick, I will get ahold of you. (thanks)

Jon- I know how you felt......... what is the definition of "choppy", "racey", "radical", "fair", "mild", "srong", etc.? One needs a reference point to discern the difference.

Thanks again for your all of your input. I will advise on the outcome.

Regards,

John
