i think that the erson Group cam buy will save you money and be better than the comp cams offer, search " erson cam" on this forum....

I'd add ARP rod bolts and main studs for insurance, which will (probably) require an align hone on the main caps.

What kind of mileage are you thinking the Comp cam will produce? Are you running a 1bbl or 2bbl carb? Anybody have any input on mileage figures from the Erson cam? Thanks for any info.

I am running a comp 252 in my daily driver and am getting 18+ mpg in stop and go city driving. Otherwise I am not thrilled with its performance and the rocker clatter is fairly pronounced even with scary tight lash tolerances. :shock:
I would be happier with virtually any other cam (even stock!)
