i'm just going to stick with Dan's advice but hope your bbtb doesn't turn into a setback.

What do you call racing cams exactly? And what is wrong with the idle?

Pentons did a 13.8, which is bloody good for a standard 2.8 engine! Same as my fastest time with the 2.8 iron I built with Alpina cams and raised comp ratio in my chromie a few years ago
