Reply to "Solid Flat Tappet Street Cam"

Yes, it is a drag race cam, and the motor was built that way originally. But Clay Smith Engineering explained to me that the cam is a relatively mild one and that some people use it for road racing. It did not have a crazy idle on the test stand. Since I already own it and it survived the initial startup and break in, I plan to give it a try. Perhaps it will be exactly what I want. Or it might be unusable and I will try a different solid lifter cam. A good friend of mine is an expert at swapping cams in a Pantera without pulling the motor.
