408 Cam on the way

Well, my thought was to lean a bit toward torque. Your description is about what I was going for. I guess the final proof is yet to come but I'm optimistic.
I plan to install advanced 4 degrees as long as Ken agrees. I suppose I could always try it straight up later for more top end.
I'm about to put steel bushings in the A833 OD. Found a friend with a Bridgeport I can use to do that, and open up my bellhousing to fit the bearing retainer which will be turned down on his lathe.
Glad you're liking yours. Is it stock or modded?

You definitely won't have a problem with torque!, I would be tempted to degree it in straight up myself, at any rate it will be a handful on the street when the clutch is dumped. Mine is a stock rebuilt cast iron case od that I had the bearing retainer machined down to fit my lakewood bell. The gear spread is as bad as they say but with a stroker the torque really helps cover it and that's where the cam you have will really shine. Eventually mine will hit the track and I am expecting less than optimum times for the hp but its a sacrifice I am willing to make for streetability with no cutting or thousands of dollars spent.
