I thought the carb would be calibrated for the engine, nope. Just off the shelf carb, same with the HEI. Swapped it out also so I could get more initial timing without going over advanced at higher RPM.
The cam has a 108 LSA which gives it great low end with out sacrificing upper HP.
As long as you don't mind bumpy idle your golden. I do agree, go with a roller cam for reliability
