Even at 498 ci with only 9.5CR, you're asking for headaches with that cam. My 540ci, with 10.5CR uses 246/252@.050 with 111 separation and installed 2deg advanced from straight-up has OK idle and manners, but is still not a "street-friendly" engine and needs the EFI I run to have crisp response at low rpms.
