I have a cam like that in my 289. I custom ordered it like that from Comp Cams in 2002 or 2003. Funny to see that they are now used in Ford crate engines. It works well, with a 17-18 inch idle and pulls well throughout the RPM range. It doesn't like 6000 RPM (valve float) but that's probably a valve spring issue.

Is your cam a 110 LSA too? How does it sound? Does it sound like it’s cammed, or totally stock? Thanks.

It doesn't sound stock, but that's more due the exhaust than the cam. The LSA is 110.

Like others have pointed out, you can get a more powerful engine at half the price. On the other hand, I have no doubt that Ford engine will run great, and will be both smooth and powerful. I also have rarely heard of people having problems with their Ford Racing crate engines.
