"perfomer RPM" cam

Can I reinstall a "Performer RPM" cam with 10K miles on iT, with a
new set of lifters, without taking the chance of wiping a lobe off?
I am using "Performer RPM Heads"

Thanks

I wouldnt say that, sure the Performer RPM cam is oldschool tech but so are a lot of things. I know a guy who had RPM cam, Vortecs, GM dual plane, 750 carb, stock 350 shortblock with unknown compression went 12.50 @ 108mph in a 3500lb car. It went low 11's on nitrous.

Cant be that bad.

Personally I wouldn't install a used flat tappet cam. You can get a new (and better) cam for around $100...
