8 3/4 gears

I'm still listening to all opinions. I thought the cam sounded too big, that's why I asked for opinions from people with more experience than i have. Pump gas here is 92 max, soI told Jim I'm keeping thr compression down to 10.5 or 10.6 to 1. My TC is still open for debate, so more opinions are welcome. I'm not trying to start a fire with the members here; I'm looking to learn. Thanks to all. Keep 'em coming, please. Paul.

THe TC isn't really up for debate unless you don't dyno the engine, which at that point you are guessing. The TC should be between peak Tq to 500rpm over peak TQ, unless that number needs to be adjusted due to vehicle usage.
