Maybe someone can interpret these specs and tell me a little bit about my engine?

Well first off, with those heads and this cam you are in the 600 to 650 hp area.

This is not your everyday camshaft. It's pretty hefty.

You have triple springs, it pulls HARD to about 7,500 but will go over 8,000.

I'd be very surprised if it idled under 1,000 rpm but with the Haltech and the fuel injection....maybe?

I'm surprised that you say the engine is smooth. I have a non-roller solid that is very similar and the way I would describe the idle is "like a marching band". Boom, boom, bada, bada, boom boom.

With the Webers I do have it idling at 650 though and that kind of accentuates the overlap.

It pulls very, very hard from 2,500 up.

I do not worry about the car over heating. I worry about breaking a valve spring.
