Once you step up to the RAIV cam or something bigger I'd start thinking about using them in a 455.
How would idle, throttle response and cruising change between a 2802 cam with standard lifters and a 041 with rhoads?

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
