The last motor I had I listened to Jim Hand and swapped out the 041 for the Summit 2801, WOW what a difference!!!!
Nah. 2801 is a towing cam in a 455.

I picked my Crane cam because it has the same duration, lift and LSA as the Wolverine cam Jim Hand favors. Good street manners and with my 3.55 gears and GM25 convertor, it has no soft spot and drives like a normal car but with a very choppy idle. Even off-idle it pulls like a freight train.
