You shouldn't have a problem with the cams they aren't that aggresive especially on that size engine.

Word.

I'm really curious to see how this turns out. In all honesty I think it should make 18" of vacuum. We shall see what happens

There is someone who has them on SL. Just can't find the thread. Cams with a ZPI stage 1 kit. They sound pretty mild. But the sound stream did it no justice. I'll get those vids done for ya..

10 inches of vacuum seems super low. They were probably referring to -10 psi, which is about 20 inches of vacuum. I've dynotuned modded EVOs with very aggressive 280 cams and even they will still idle at about 15-16. I'm going to guess that you'll be closer to 18-19 inches of vacuum.
