Curiously, why would you flat mill rather than angle mill?

I'd be running 92-93 octane pump gas, 10% ethanol is what they sell around here.

Given the rest of my specs, whats your power estimate if I milled those suckers down to 60cc, which I think is 10.8 static / 9.1 dynamic?

My software simulators say 484 @ 6k, though I don't think the simulate how much bite cubic inches take out of a cam. I think the peak will be closer to 5500-5800 rpm.

cam is 106 lsa, 106 ica. 57 degrees of overlap.

Flatmill is less expensive but the max flatmill is 60 cc's....anything less dictates an angle mill is required.

10.8 is fine assuming you have enough duration at .050 and overlap....I seem to have missed those figures.

Also, I would have encouraged you to go alot wider on the LSA.....110 or so would have been better IMO for a street car at least. IMO, 106 would be more ideal for a roadrace application. It would have been more "friendly" on the street with a slightly wider LSA. I would have went in the mid 230's at .050 with high .500's lift with a 1.6 rocker.

A 236/242 XE cam with our 195 street heads would have made great torque and big power as well, not nosing over hard till 66-6700 or so (probably peak at 61-6200)

I would have installed it at 106-107 or so (3-4 degrees advanced).

EDIT....Just saw your cam....our duration numbers are close BUT, your discussing a solid flat tappet which will act smaller due to the lash. I was thinking hydraulic roller which would make more power than the cam you quoted specs on. Not sure if you would consider going that route but I would think the extra power and lack of valve adjustment/maintenance would be worthy of consideration.
