I personally would send the cam back, and find out your compression ratio and if need be shave the heads to achieve a higher ratio. My engine in my signature drives like a pussy cat and a similar build would be perfect. You would also get 20mpg plus.
its a 10.5-1 compression. Flat tops with the 87cc chambers. I may just swap out the cam, but now im kinda worried about vacuum and drivability. I guess you cant have the best of both worlds.
