I recently put one of these in friend's car. It's nice- the idle is decent 
but it's got serious power. I was initially skeptical because of the really 
high lift but it hasn't been a problem. The car has triple Webers and 10:1 
compression. You'll definitely want to raise the compression ratio to take 
advantage of the cam although you could probably rebuild the Strombergs to 
give adequate fuel delivery . Make sure your NEW lifters are properly 
hardened (BPNW sells good ones).
