Need input on NEW MOTOR!

That's probably a good cam. It has a wide LSA so there will be very little overlap. I'm running a 220/222-580/580-114 in my 408 and I love it. Idles like stock and has good vacuum, which is a must for me when towing. I think that cam will probably do very well in that engine.

For driveability, you may want to consider bringing that CR up a little bit. 9.0 sounds a little low...I personally wouldn't go below about 9.2 or 9.3 just so you have good running quality out of boost. At 25 psi I'm sure you're planning on running race fuel and methanol anyway, so the extra couple of tenths for compression shouldn't make a whole lot of difference. Just my opinion.

That's what I was thinking. everywhere I was looking , they had a similar cam setup.
