is this cam to much??

I am thinking about a 233/239 .595/.603 with 112 seperation. I will also be installing ported/polished 98 heads. With new springs, pushrods, and lifters. Is this going to be too much? This is a daily driver/ weekend strip car. I also plan on running a 100 shot with this setup. Any advice would be appreciated.

i would suggest a larger stall to get the most out of that particular cam. but not much bigger than 3500 as you plan on spraying it.

Is it too much?
Probably.
Do I love it?
Definately.

Lopes like a mother, pulls like a mother, I should pull over 450 after I get the heads and 90/90 installed (they are on the way) Put down 383 w/exhaust and cam. stock heads, intake, tb, etc......

I have that cam and I really like it. A little much for a driver, it sounds good and pulls strong from 3000-6500.
