My Straub cammed 468
Just want to tell you all about my 468 build.
I have completed break in and finally really hammered it for the first time all the way to 6000rpm.
All i can say is..WOW!! the way it pulls is amazing!
Cam is Straubs roller, 229/241@.050, .620/.580, LSA 109, and i have Sniper EFI to go along with it.
When i switched from Qjet carb to EFI the improvement was HUGE!!
So happy with this monster.

No, sorry, you can google it, there are some with the cam i got.
Idle is a bit lumpy but nothing extreme.
Its designed to perform and not for showoff with lumpy idle.
With Sniper EFI i get 16mpg highway 65mph, 3,08 rearend and auto trans, wich i think is very good for a 468.
Driveability is awesome with tons of torque and plenty Hp all the way to 6500rpm.
