You won't get much vacuum from that cam, period. Should make that 327 scream with gears and a good set of heads. Nothing like a mean sounding C2

Oops-skimmed through that a little too fast. 108 lobe center will make it pretty lopey (low vacuum). Spreading it to, say a 112 would make a night and day difference. Car may not "hit" as hard, but will have an extended, or flatter power band.
