what compression ratio???
this will limit boost as will the piston type, forged/cast/hyper........
comp.cam probably ground on 110* center which would work just not optimum. :)

You want around 8.5:1 Compression to be pump gas friendly, if your in the norm witout a blower 10.1 or so you will be paying lots of money for Petro
