Thanks George, when you said the cobra jet spec cam was better than the CC head cam, I got a little excited thinking I could save a bunch of money and get more zip back into the old car before it was time for the big rebuild. Now it looks like it will just have to wait until thecar gets its restoration in about ten years or so.
I liked the acceleration and sound of my old motor better, but using octane boost and not starting when hot was a real drag. I am thinking running premium pump gas would make a nice comprimise. So what I will do is save up, since I got to buy new valves for my CC heads anyways, and get the most radical hydraulic roller cam that Crane makes, along with roller rockers and such and maybe then it will feel like my good old motor.
