engine build questions
Ive had the car a few months now and just got the tranny redone now its time for the motor.
Currently its got a stock (mileage unknown) L98 bottom end, assuming stock cam (previous owner didnt know, just pulled motor and installed).
195cc AFR heads
Holley 750 vaccum advance carb
Hooker headers
Edelbrock performer RPM intake
MSD ignition with vaccum advance distributor
Underdrive pulleys.
Strange 12 bolt rear, with 4.10 gears and a posi
Transmission is a T-56
And full spohn suspension
The motor has a couple of oil leaks so im wanting to repair all those hopefully with the motor still in the car. And upgrade the cam while im at it
My question is i talked with summit and they recommended this cam

Has anyone ran a setup similar to mine with this cam, if so how were you pleased with the results.
Input is appreciated
