Your cam won't have a huge effect on the octane you run. Compression ratio is more important.

Keep the 050 duration in the 230 range and you'll have a good street runner with a noticeable idle. For your C, run up to about 550 lift with that 230 duration and a 9.5-10.0:1 CR and you'll have one potent engine that can run without a problem on pump gas.

well if you can go will a roller setup its less friction and less friction is more efficient and more efficient means more power and slightly better gas than with a flat tappet setup but its what ever teeders you todder
