ELVIS PRESLEY LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! W/IN
NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION
I am very interested in the Comp Cams 274: it has 230/236 duration and .487/.490 lift. I am wondering if you think it's TOO BIG for my heads(cast iron L98)? CHP did a test with L98 heads that used a 268 cam it features 224/230 duration. The cam worked wonderfully loosing no low end. I am not afraid of losing a few lbs of torque below 3000rpm just not a ton. My car is relatively light weighing only 3465 w/driver, and geared very well. A list of the mods impacting on the cam are listed below. Thanks. - JDMZ28

JDM,
I think that has a 110° LSA and corresponding longer duration. As long as you're using a manual trans and don't mind a little choppy idle, the cam should be O.K. for street use.
Like I always say, you can't trust anyone else to pick your cam for you, since you'll have to live with it. This one is fairly mild, and could probably be used with a stock automatic and converterwith the 3.73 rear end.

OW DAMMIT! You got me all excited and I came in here and found out that you just had a problem with your car. Don't play with my emotions like that, LOL.
