This is a poser cam, for those who want to pretend that they have a performance motor without going through the drill to increase static compression ratio, set the squish and a myriad of other changes to actually build a performance motor. It's marketed to impress the geeks down at the Sonic Drive In who don't know any better.
With the intake valve closing at 35.5 degrees ABDC @ 0.050" tappet lift and guesstimating your static compression ratio at 8.00:1, the dynamic compression ratio with this cam will be 7.049:1 and the car will be slower than it was with the stock cam. But hey, you'll be posing and sounding cool.
Plan on investing in a looser torque converter like Dave said and a vacuum cannister for the brakes.
I just can't understand spending $600-$800 and going through all this trouble to go slower, but hey, whatever blows your skirt up!!PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.
