Re: BBC Camshaft Help

You're not going to notice a big difference between either cam especially on the street.

That's a lot of duration for a low lift cam. I'd guess to say it's a roller cam grind? For the specs you have listed, I'd say either are too much cam.

Pick up an Xtreme Energy cam designed for your combination of parts. Just from what you have listed, you only have a very mild engine.
