if it is a boosted motor why isnt the duration on the exhaust side more? From what I have read it is better to have at least 20 degrees more on exhaust to make better boost.

It is a pretty radical cam for a boosted motor. Duration of a NA cammed engine.

From the reading i have done it seems it could go either way some builders like matching #'s some more on the exhaust. I dont know how radical it will be on a 427 which is why i was hoping someone with a similar cam would chime in and clairify!
