AFR heads don't want much split. The cam I listed was designed for combos with AFR heads. The dyno sheet I listed the pump gas build makes 1.417HP per cube. The one you have listed makes 1.14HP. The best way to compare engine of different size is by HP per cube. Divide the Max HP / CID = HP per cube.

Remember, the hotter the cam is the less suitable it is for street use.
The one i listed made 15" at 850 rpm if my memory is good. Most all customers report vacuum to run accessories.

Now if the OP is in you neck of the wood with high altitude then some things would have to be addressed.
