    How did you advance the cam? Did you have an adjustable gear set?

    I think so Allen. That's a lot of lift and duration to advance I guess.

    I like to degree the cam when when playing with advance or retard. Have you figured out what all needs replaced? How far did you advance it that caused it to hit the pistons? Hell, my 408 has flat tops and the cam is advanced 3 degrees and the valves don't hit with .610 lift.
