Is the moter stock? Do you have dished pistons? piston to valve clearance will be a concern... Thats a big cam your asking about. What other supporting mods do you have... intake, exhaust, ect? what year is your car?

dont buy it you have a lot more research to do trust me i have changed my mind so many times. Usually people dont like to go less then a 224/224 and the vindicator cam is considered the biggest for stock heads
