Update on Cam Purchase!!
Thanks to everyone for their comments...bought a cam today
A good friend of mine enlightened me to the fact that Comp makes a roller cam XR276 (224/230 duration @ .050) with the 112 LSA...its under their MARINE line!!! So I don't have have a custom grind, bought from Summit for $249 and found the Comp retro lifters for $358 on Ebay w/ free shipping.
Also did the math and double ckecked my setup (with the help pof the same friend) and SCR is 9.7 not 9.5. So much the better...
Happy holidays to all !!!

Awesome! I think you will be real happy with this. With your smallish intake runners and exhaust you will have tons of low end and midrange torque but as stated earlier you will probably run out of your powerband around 5000 RPM. You can easily upgrade later without having to recam.
