picking a cam
14:1 on I am assuming a 59 degree motor ? Your( and if you're this involved , I am probably not giving you any news ) gonna want the best head gasket you can find and stud that deck. That is squeezing it pretty good for ten bolts.
A really good read here......

I am thinking it may like the tighter angle since it is a strip only motor.......it will have a narrower power band , but stronger through the mid to top.
Thats why I come here to ask, I read,read,read,, get More confused
looking for real world experiences/set up
without doing some more machining/changing pistons, was looking at larger LSA to kill some comp.
plus, on E-85 will need less timing
here's a chart, i was looking at
EFFECTS OF CHANGING LOBE SEPERATION ANGLE (LSA)
Tighten (smaller LSA number)
Moves Torque to Lower RPM
Increases Maximum Torque
Narrow Power band
Builds Higher Cylinder Pressure
Increase Chance of Engine Knock
Increase Cranking Compression
Increase Effective Compression
Idle Vacuum is Reduced Idle
Idle Quality Suffers
Open Valve-Overlap Increases
Closed Valve-Overlap Increases
Natural EGR Effect Increases
Decreases Piston-to-Valve Clearance
Widen (larger LSA number)
Raise Torque to Higher RPM
Reduces Maximum Torque
Broadens Power Band
Reduce Maximum Cylinder Pressure
Decrease Chance of Engine Knock
Decrease Cranking Compression
Decrease Effective Compression
Vacuum is Increased
Idle Quality Improves
Closed Valve-Overlap Decreases
Natural EGR Effect is Reduced
increases Piston-to-Valve Clearance
skrews- the 2nd cam spec listed IS a bullet cam, they recomended
