What is the primary use of the car? 241/249 @ .050" seems HUGE for a street driven 355 with a 2600 converter.

IMHO - I would like to see a cam with less overlap to build compression, rather than bleed it off. The lunati cam has 25 degrees of overlap. I bet the DCR sucks with thats camshaft.

I would like to see something like a 230/234, on a 112 LSA, 108 or 109 ICL, and .550"-ish lift. I know a SFT cam loses some of the specs through the lash, but I think the modern grinds require less lash... therefore not as much of a loss.

Focus on power under the curve instead of peak power. Just my $0.10 worth...
