Kirt,
I like your choice of cam. I used this one once and it worked great - for
a hydraulic cam. Now I'm using the Motorsport 313 solid lifter cam and like
it even better. Since you are using the stock connecting rods, your high
end rpm will be pretty limited, so pick the other components accordingly.
The Torker and other high rpm intakes would be a bad choice. For the
street, stick with a dual plane design.
