    With the Alpha...I probably wouldn't go any bigger than that. That cam will probably idle decent around 900 RPMs.
    I hate to keep pushing the roller, but here's (http://dab7.cranecams.com/SpecCard/D...1=Display+Card) and example of how you can have a 214/222 cam with .488/.509 lift w/112 LSA.
    As good of an idle as the 262, but more top end. I also believe the roller stuff has a smoother idle. To me, it's worth the extra couple hundred bucks...especially when trying to shift that Alpha in and out of gear.

    With that kind of compression with lots of boost they should be on alcohol not pump gas. No wonder it smoked.
