That just means it'll fit engines with the same architecture, doesn't mean it's the right choice

That is an extremely tiny cam with 204 @ .050. The factory 068 is a bigger cam than that. Sticking that performer cam in even a 400ci is going to give you detonation issues with any amount of decent compression which is why you find it necessary to run expensive race gas and fuel additives.

That's just not an option for us car guys that actually drive our cars even just sparingly, let alone frequently. We used to build engines that way decades ago when race gas was still $3 a gallon but these days at $8 a gallon it makes no sense when we can build pump gas engines to make as much power and spend 1/4 the cost in fuel, not to mention I can drive it anywhere and fill it up anywhere.
