Why not get the Performer + cam that matches the intake? Just so happens I'm taking mine out this week, got new heads, cam, intake. I'll sell it to you for $20 + shipping if you want to try it. You can even have the lifters, I have them marked as to which cam lobe they each mate to and wouldn't need broken in, although it might be better buying new ones from Summit for $40.
I used that exact grind on a very similar combo and it worked very well. The idle isnt going to be very rough and its driveability was good. excelent cam!!
Barry, This is Boss9, Inline6's brother. He's having a hard time logging onto the board. He's interested in the cam. You can e-mail him at jamesdean@ncweb.com. Thanks, Darrel
