Upon further review.....

RummRum wisely sugested a differant cam because my DCR was too high. After a little research on the net i was fairly convinced this was true. I've been shopping cams to get DCR below 8.0 to be safe(current DCR = 8.6). I called the tech line at CompCams and talked to a fellow that clearly didnt want to be talking to people about cams. He said that i should be fine with 8.5 DCR. He suggested Comp Cam p#12-404-4 which is the 268H and has an intake closing(.050") @ 41*. He also said that the higher lobe seperation would help reduce knock.

How does the brain trust @ CHR feel about this?

This seems to make more sense to me but i am curious how much DCR you can really get away with on pump gas in middle america. Also, is the KB.com calculator the best one on the net?
