My 7:8:1 motor sounded a lot more healthy with a cam like yours.

The smaller cam will obviously create more DCR and cranking pressure, while its not always a good thing with pump gas..

It would be a no brainer if like you, I was at 7.8 SCR but im currently at 9.5 CR and still can shave the heads and go to a more traditional .039 for the Head gasket and still get closer to 10 CR if needed and clean up the idle or create more idle vacuum ( which neither are really needed with the OF and this car has manual brakes
