i was looking at getting a cam for my new combo. it is going to have AFR 165's, ported cobra intake, 70 mm TB, 76mm maf and most likely a 150 shot of nitrous. i was looking at the comp cams xe266hr-12. is the lift going to hurt my driveability on the street? it is a .544/.555 lift with 216/224 duration and a 112 lobe seperation. is this cam too big??? should i get something smaller? i dont want to fly cut the pistons and i dont want it to affect driveability. what do you guys think? any suggestions on what cam to go with?

Can't go wrong with a custom cam. Mine was 325 from Ed Curtis at www.flowtechinduction.com That's my suggestion. Good luck
