What times to expect with this CAM
I will most likely end up going with the cam you reccommended. Now, I am just debating on whether or not to upgrade the valves on my heads from 2.02 and 1.57 to 2.055 and 1.6. This will bring the flow @.600 to 302 as opposed to 296.
However, the guy selling me the heads told me this might kill my low end torque completely. Any thoughts on this?

it can be a positive thing and it can be a negative effect. I would leave the stock sized valves on your application. It will save you an few more dollars on the heads having to be "valve lapped".

I just cant see any reason in using a to big cam that is going to do nothin more than chew up valv springs and have ill streetability. Dont get me wrong the cams make more peak power but I feel in the curve you are not gaining enought to make it worth while. On my new motor which I will just say is going to be bigger than a 347 by a decent margin is still not going to be sportin a huge cam. I am looking in the 240 range and aroung 600 lift. Once again I feel I dont need a huge cam to make good power in all the area the engin will be operatin. Hope this help you out man. Let me know what you ultimately decide. Later.
Once again...here is some great info from very knowledgeable guy

He'll install the upgraded valves for free.
I was originally paying Patriot $xxx to clean the heads and fix anything that might be wrong with it, mill the deck surface to make it true, and install Patriot dual springs.
He told me if I wanted the larger valves he could put them in for the same amount.
Would you still leave the stock ones in it or should I go this route?
Also, with the larger valves will there be enough PV clearance for the 228 .595 112lsa cam on an Xer lobe?
Thanks!
