My opinion FWIW.

Marc did a super job on that engine. Those are MY cams.... That I wanted him to install , and they
I would have been much happier with smaller cams.



100 % correct Pete more power and better drivability
I'd bet the car on the above statement.

Back on thread........if done PROPERLY a regrind cam is fine.
Just proves out the old adage even with DOHC motors.
Better small cam with big heads than vice versa. I have an excellent article on cam selection discussing the really critical parameters for deciding on cam specs. There was also a software application that calculated those parameters for you based on primarily low lift air flow. I used it to spec a cam for my 350 SBC using TFS23d heads. I'll try posting the article when I get to my laptop.
