Those two, coupled with stronger valve springs might do your cam in.
Most people have said that the factory cam doesn't have problems, but why take chances? Oh, and if you go with a new cam, I highly recommend going roller. It is worth the extra couple of bucks.

I will try and stay out of the engine until I have no choice. I just finished going through my 67 camaro’s small block and it was kind of pricey. Anyways it sounds like the Turbo upgrade is the best bang for the buck. Can you guy’s recommend one of Cotton’s Turbos for my semi stock application? I don’t have a problem changing out the torque converter for a little more stall if it is necessary.
Thanks Glen
