Here is the most recent camshaft feedback I've received.

Hello George,
I have a 1937 Ford coupe with a 351C 4v ... the engine has a Torker Intake with injector bungs added and some mass flow parts added basically making it a home built mass flow EFI setup ... the engine also has 1970 closed chamber 4v heads ... flat top forged pistons ... compression is around 10.1 ... the camshaft is a Comp Cams hydraulic roller, advertised duration is 274/282, duration at 050 is 224/232 with .602"/.612" lift on a 110 lsa. The grind # is FC 3632F/3634F HR110 retrofit ... I'm tired of drivability associated with this camshaft and think I want something a little more street friendly and EFI friendly. I currently get a lot of bucking at low speed cruise, and when going around a corner ... I'm looking for something that drives well, has some power (400hp) ... I'd like for this 37 to be a fun car with some get up.

George-
I followed your directions ... I got the same cam lobes as before recut on a new core following your spec. So its the same 274/282 advertised, 224/232 at 050, on a 111 ICL and a 114 LSA with .602"/.612" lift ...
Today I took the car on my first test drive after the cam swap and I must say I'm very happy. I can put the car in 1st gear and just idle with little to no bucking, I have no bucking at slower speeds when taking a corner. The car still has a fair burble to the idle just like you said. The exhaust smells much better at idle now as I think the EFI isn't getting false readings from overlap. It also doesn't stall out when the a/c kicks in, and I can just let out on the clutch from a stop now without giving it fuel. It feels like the car has a lot of midrange but honestly it was misting all day so punching it in most any gear would result in wheel spin, I'll have to try it some more when its dry out. I have to say I'm pretty darn happy so far, I think my wife won't complain near as much now when she rides in the car, at least I hope not. lol.
