It is a OK cam. That cam on a 115 LSA or wider would be a good choice for a 408 CID motor.

Thanks, our 232/240 595/608 on a 115 works very well and doesn't bleed much boost out the exhaust valves. Bob

I think that cam is better than the 'new' cam. Though the old cam has slightly less intake duration, the wider LSA help out more.
