pick a better ots cam other than an alphabet cam. btw there is already a thread up about this cam.

Intake Duration at 050 inch Lift: 228
Exhaust Duration at 050 inch Lift: 228
Duration at 050 inch Lift: 228 int./228 exh.
Advertised Intake Duration: 290
Advertised Exhaust Duration: 290
Advertised Duration: 290 int./290 exh.
Intake Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.552 in.
Exhaust Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.552 in.
Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.552 int./0.552 exh. lift

if you buy this cam you'll need to check ptv and degree it, possibly notch pistons



doesnt matter what tranny you run btw.

If I had to pick out an aggressive off the shelf cam for you providing you have the track heat intake Id yank a Comp Cams XE274HR for your ride. It's about as much cam as those heads can handle and would work well with your 2800 stall and 4:10 gears. It will take you to the limit of Hyd roller lifters and just about the limit of those Windsor Jr heads. Make sure you get Vavle springs to match the cam.
