I called a couple vendors to try and get an idea for cam specs, but they wouldn’t give me any information unless I paid for the cam upfront.

414ci, ported 317 heads, gt47-88 , victor Jr intake, static compression 8:1

i've analyzed Na$sty-TA's website alot to give me ideas and lead me in the right direction.
