Seeing as guys have valvetrain control issues with that cam with the recommended 1.6s and Comp beehives you are headed for trouble. Rethink things.

I am saying even those who use the 1.6s and recommended beehives have valvetrain control issues. IMO the cam is a bad choice anyway. You are aware Comp's RPM ranges are WAY WAY off and you will have to rev much higher than their recommendations suggest.

yea iam aware of that this cam is goin to have to be reved high like 6500 to 6800 i know that...i would just like to get a good setup so this cam will work fairly well...i like the gains i seen people who run this cam got...with a nice set of port heads i think this will work out pretty good...i know i can go smallerand pick up maybe more gains,but iam pretty set on this cam as of now
