I think im going to go with Comp's XE282HR for the setup listed in my sig. I was going to go custom grind, but I think this cam is close enough for my setup, and buying the cam off the shelf will save me some money. Will I have Vacuum problems with this big of a cam though? Also how high can I safley rev this motor while staying hydraulic roller?

Got an intake on that thing? Kinda low compression for an N/A motor. How big is the headers and exhaust? The cam you mentioned is a great, great cam but...?

P.S. put the biggest cam in that will clear your pistons, its never enough so plan ahead.
