Bud...lots of guys making great power using the original #143 factory street mechanical cam. The others may sound "better", but you give up a lot of street driving manners with those cams. There was someone on the site selling the cam/lifters combo a few years back. I'm sure they will chime in...run the stock L78 unit and enjoy.
