    Dave, As great and knowledgable as many of the members of this forum are, and there are several, I would highly recommend against joining any forum and taking a stranger I don't know advice on something as important as a cam spec, it ok to learn from them to gain knowledge about what you are about to purchase but I would call the cam manufacturers and ask their tech expert. Otherwise you might take the advice of somebody like myself who knows just enough to buffalo somebody that doesn't know much and end up with a piece of crap that is mismatched. Just my advice! This hobby is about having fun, and it's not fun and many quit when they get junk info and spend their hard earned bucks for something that doesn't work, the manufacturers butt is on the line, they are pros and they value their reputation and don't want to steer you wrong, call 3 companies, at least 2 companies should come up with similar specs, use that one and you will be happy I bet. For that matter you can do the same with your convertor. Don't fall for vendor techs (ex. Summit) use manufacturer techs also, trust me on this I learned for you!
