THEY'LL pick a cam with overlap because of 10.to 1 and iron heads and 87 swill pump gas/
you might be better served with 9.to 1 pistons and an mild rv type cam..
are those probe pistons 10 t 1 with your cc heads? have the engine or heads been milled, upping the compression?
might want to ask the machine shop why they picked that cam
us giving you info only works with the info you give..
if the compression is more like 11 to 1 because of the overbore and any milling , it change the machine shops reasoning over what we might say...
