Does anyone have any experiece with MP cams? Are they as good as aftermarket? I was looking at the 268 duration and 460 lift. Will an automatic be ok with this and will there be an interference problem with a milled head of .060 to .080? I know this is basic stuff but I've not done a six before. I want something that is streetable (not as a daily driver.) Thanks for the help. cycledog@iglide.net
