Why do you think it's time to ditch the cam? Does it have any lobe wear? You could just replace the lifters if that's the only problem.

Honestly the cam is noisy.
I think I have a bad lifter or bent pushrod.. so its like a *while I am in there type of thing.

also. I do not like the profile. it has too much top end and not enough bottom end.

A better choice with your 1.7:1 rocker ratio would have been the slightly less aggressive 68-232-4 with 113° LSA rather than the 111°
Upgrading from the 822 lifter to the 867 that has closer tolerances also seems to help.

Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any further questions. I'd even be willing to shoot you some better pricing to try and get you to better "Comp Cam Karma"
