What is your compression? That cam will be lazy unless you have upwards of 11.0:1.
Thanks.
Thank you Mark for the information I'm not expert with engines, I think compression is 10 or more I remember previouse owner told me around 10.5:1.
Unfortunately your combo is a little off. Unless you're going to race it the 4.11 rear gear is a waste. You normally won't be turning it high enough to use it.
But now you have a high gear, which is fine with a bigger cam, but you have power brakes and your converter is unknown. You might want to verify that as well.
