Thanks for the reply. I will be looking forward to learning how the nova runs with this cam or whatever one that you choose to run. My only experence with aftermarket cams for a chevy 250 was a Crane 203901 in a 79 gmc half ton p/u that I bought new. I replaced the head with a brand new one because of cracks and burnt ex valves. Other than standard sbc valve springs the head was stock. I also adapted an autolite 2100 carb with dual exhausts. The truck went from being out of breath at 45-50 mph in 2nd gear to pulling hard all the way to 65mph. Ch465muncie,3.40 gears 27.8 in tires. But gas milage was down and I lost some low speed Torque. Knowing what I know now I should have done something to up my compression. Hope this helps. Jay
