Stock heads/motor, Long tubes/ E-85 & a blower. Really like sound of Tsunami cam, Any recommendations??

Some say that would be to much overlap, what kind of problems will I run into with too much overlap?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you should go with new lifters, but we didn't on my cam swap. So far all is good.

You could also have Pat G spec a cam out for you. I think you'll enjoy it a lot more with a cam.
