[Fot] Cam, etc...

[Tony Drews]

I love my Larry Young designed cam, but would worry about longevity for 
street use.  It's very high lift for that.  We ran an Isky 666 back in 
the day and it may be better for that kind of use, but I may not be 
remembering how tractable it was now - may not have enough low end.
