Is this too much cam for my 3000lb street/strip fastback.
10.6:1 408W with Vic Jr heads, Holley 800dp, 5sp, 3.73:1. What about with 1.72 rockers? Hydraulic Roller
236* intake/248* exhaust @.050
.359 in./.372 in. lob lift
.574 in./.595 in. valve lift with 1.6:1
110* Lobe Separation Thanks

Depends on how much time is spent in traffic on the street. It might be too much for a daily driver in heavy traffic, but would be fine for a weekend cruiser I would think.

You'll be fine, my 420W has a 621 solid roller in it. Certainly not a daily driver but fine for weekend stuff.------------------
