To the gurus who can decipher the specs. would this cam work nicely in a 9:1 cr 350 with dual ex, iron manifold and q jet or is there no place for it in any Pontiac engine? I read all the posts in this thread but still can't answer that question myself.
Also, plans are/were for my 455 to get the 041 cam (9.8:1 cr 6x-4 with push rod holes enlarged) or should I be looking at the Crower offerings (619...). Car is a 4 speed with 3.23's. I'd rather do regular lifters and would be OK with a rumpity idle (but I do have power brakes). Are Rhoads a must? I think the ticking would send me over the edge. It's a once in a while cruiser car during nice weather.

Satan cam. I gave one away to a friend after my low compression 400 failed with it installed. His first run out to the dragstrip with that cam wasted his rod bearings in a 70 350. I think the devil was inside...
I went with the Lunati 10510702. Couldn't be happier, on a 112 LSA. But I digress. Back to 455's...
