i think you would be best off talking to one of our sponsors and having a custom cam built. if you buy the package from them a custom cam will onlt be a little more like another $50, i dont know the exact price but i know it will not be much. and it would be ideal for your setup.

Wouldnt be a bad setup. Carb setups like bigger cams. Mine is tuned pretty well and was really easy to do so but mines a little smaller. carb setups like larger durations, tight lsas, and high lift.

in all honesty, that cam with the right carb/intake setup and proper tuning will perform MUCH better WOT, but driving behavior will lack.

Carbs behave better with big cams then EFI IMO. You likely make more with the carb setup than with the EFI at WOT as state above.
