. Car drives / behaves OK , has a little bit of surge ( i think due to the cam install ) until you get up to cruising speed , however , if you want to race , you don't feel the surge .

I heard that a ported stock Throttle body can help with all the surge, but not sure. Maybe others can chime in.

The installer / tuner told me this before it was done .
He said to go for something "streetable" which is what we ended up doing .
Its like the car wants to go get up go at low speeds hence the little surge

I think this is what people mean when say when they want a "streetable" cam .

Still using the stock clutch . I had bad luck with an aftermarket clutch on an earlier car so stock until it dies . As for the power , owing to the car now having a pro charger , I feel that the power comes on more "progressive" than say the punch in the back from a PD type blower . In my opinion , you don't shock the clutch or drivetrain as hard with this set up . Time may prove me wrong but ,we'll see .

It's been awhile since you started the thread, was wondering how it turned out. Can you share details on build? i.e. rods/pistons, the shop that did build/tune? Also what were your results? Why did you decide to rebuild or upgrade the motor? thanks.
