Great, glad you like it!

The 216/228 cam will act much like a stock cam in the 10 to 1 CR 400 engine. Probably idle smooth with a "deep/heavy" sound. The 228/235 cam would be a much better choice as it will bleed off some cylinder pressure at low speeds and pull very strong in the upper mid-range and top end. You'll need at least 3.55 gears (3.73's would be better) to effectively use it.....Cliff
