If someone wants a rough idle so be it, it's their car and their money.
A 4v will lope and lope a lot if the cams are spec'd for it.
I've spec'd many cams for 4vs that both lope and make 360rwhp or more. They also make good tq and midrange power.
Birdman, regrinds won't make the same power as billets because you can't get enough duration out of them without requiring shims and/or longer valves, I've had many discussion with Bullet about this over the last few weeks. the most we can get out of a set of cobra cams is around 212 degrees which is only 8 deg more than stock.
230+ duration cams in a big bore stroker are pretty mild when compared to mid 220 deg dur cams in a 281ci engine. I can make 220 deg cams lope and make decent power but most people want longer duration because that's what they think is needed...it's not.
The gains will not be substantial because the eaton can already push it to the point where it'll blow.
On an n/a engine a set of cams matched to the combo, (off the shelf or custom) will easily add 40rwhp or more to a stock n/a longblock.
A 4v wont lope like you think it will.
Its your money but youre going to spend a lot of money to have cams installed and you wont gain that much HP or sound. :cryying:

My 230+ @ .050 cams don't lope anywhere near what the 268 advertised cams in my 351C do. It does sound meaner than any 4v I have heard, but still doesn't lope that much. I would never advise someone to put cams in a stock engine, you need compression and cubes to make power with cams. But, it is your money, if you want to blow it, go right ahead.

A "stock engine with an Eaton" is not a stock N/A 4.6l DOHC!!! The gains on that would be substantial because the valves will be held open longer and the supercharger will push a larger volume of air into the cylinder heads.
The gains on a naturally aspirated stock DOHC engine wont be anywhere near as much but atleast it will sound cool. Right?
