help, which crate motor?
the 484 cam will give you a slight lopey sound but is a geat cam as I have used several of them in different engines & it is very drivable on the street. If the engine is dynoed be sure to get a printout to see where your powerband is & you may want a smaller stall converter for street-strip. as long as you have good carburetion, exhaust & igntion, you should be able to run high 12's fairly easily with the higher horse engine. Good luck
