8 3/4 gears

Those are my thoughts, too. I'll call Jim Brown this week and ask him if wee can tone it down. He want's to get full benefit of the TF heads, but this is primarily a street car. I'd like to run a solid lifter. I greatly respect your knowledge and opinion. Could you please give me your thoughts when you get a moment? Resect sent.
256 @.050 (if that's correct) is not that big of a cam in a stroked small block, sure it will make some noise at idle but it will be plenty streetable. Tell Jim what you want (and be sure you know what you want) and you will get the right cam.
