Agree with Louey concerning application. Manual trans or loose converter with automatic.

I would not use this cam, though, under any circumstances. These damned Extreme Energy cams are noisy and have a more than better chance that they will roach a couple of lifters due to the racical (that's why the grind is called "Extreme") grind profile of the ramps. You can make the most horsepower if you yank the valve open, hold it open longer and then slam it shut quickly. This theory works only so far though and in my personal opinion, I think Comp has carried the whole mess to an unreasonable conclusion.

Trust my 50+ years of dinkin' with this stuff and get yourself a roller tappet camshaft and kit. Remember I said this when you have to tear the motor completely down to clean out the shrapnel from the roached flat tappet cam and start over.
