With A/C, power steering and other accessories on and functioning no reason to use the racing parts!!! At 11:1 compression, you'll have to run premium pump fuel, and probably an octane booster.....
You'd probably be a lot happier with a hydraulic roller cam. Mechanical cams are not designed for prolonged street usage, plus they require frequent adjustments... Compression ratio would be a lot more street friendly in the 9.5 to 10:1 area...too much compression on the street often means having to get out of the timing advance to keep it from detonating..without a decent amount of timing advance performance will suffer.
Rather then picking a cam that sounds neat, you might do better to use a program like "Cam Quest" to select a cam and accompanying valve train that will work right with the rest of the engine...Cam Quest is a free download at Comp Cams web site.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
