Lee,

I am not THE engine builder, but the chosen cam looks good to me. It may be a bit too radical, just slightly. Depends on your driving preferences. I myself prefer a flatter torque curve.

Is that a roller cam?

But as I said before, there is more leeway for errors in american muscle than in european small displacement engines.

More duration on the exhaust (dual pattern) once was the hot tip in the 70s when engine builders realised that the (ported) exhaust was more detrimental to hp than the (ported) intake due to the restrictions.

In the early days people used, say 1.5 rocker arm ratio on the intake and 1.6 on the exhaust to overcome this, because dual pattern cam weren't readily available.

(I am just smiling at the thought that Joe D. from Ft. Lauderdale once used the first cam that was ground in Mr. CRANE daddy's garage for his hot-rod. Lasted about 30 miles ...)
