Ahh....It's a solid flat-tappet cam. You're looking at this one, right:

Adv. Duration: 280°/288°
Lift: .518''/.536''
RPM Range: 3200-6800

Solid lifter cam for a street car isn't the best idea. They require some extra maintenece....

Might want to think about hydraulic flat tappet cams.....something like this would prolly suit your application pretty well:

Xtreme Energy XE284H Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshaft Only
Lift: .507''/.510''
Duration: 284°/296°
RPM Range: 2300-6500
