Engine returned today !! my cam choice>>

OOPS!

well i guess i get to stare a a partially assembled small block untill tuesday since the engine shop was ahead of schedule(when you do`nt need it you have it,, of course!)but it did force me to pick one, i`m going to go with the XR258HR
in a 110 flavor i`m going to need that overlap,
the heads were milled .014 and the block lost another .012 way more than i or anyone was expecting, but hey at least the cylinder quench
should be awesome!! i`d love to go with a bigger cam, I`m just gun shy from watching someone else have a dog of an engine when it was done, one other thing if you use cheaper pistons get the engine balanced do not skip this step! it was eye opening to see how much had to be trimmed on some of them. Thanks for your opinions.

the thrashing starts here.........................
