Kinda sux but I like the noise. Not sure how much I'll notice those 4 other degrees. 470cid, 10.6:1 comp, crower cam saver lifters. I Have run Rhoads lots in past, but I prefer the lope. When it's hot and the oil thins, and the idle goes silky smooth, Yuck LOL

I see the CAT drive is like a Pete Jackson, dual idler single key, unlike my MILIDON drive that uses 7 bolts on a separate cam hub. IIRC gives about 1 1/2* movement per bolt hole swap. I just went thru this building my 455 back at Christmas with my boys. IIRC i could not get the 108 CL for my cam dead on but ended up at 109.
