I thought it had somethin to do with that.

Someone on another board suggested a small cam, "262/268 adv dur 0.550 lift." Cams around that are

XE266HR
RPM range 1600 to 5600
Mild modifications, 3.27-3.73 gear, mass air, larger throttle body.
Adv. Dur. 266in/274ex
Dur @ .050 216in/224ex
Lift .544in/.555ex
LSA 112°

270HR
Mild street performance. Slight lope at idle. Stock
torque converter and gears. Good
stock HO upgrade.
RPM range 1800 to 5000
Adv. Dur 270in/270ex
Dur @ .050 215in/215ex
Lift .533in/.533ex
LSA 110°

The XE cams say they're for "Computer Controlled Hyd. Roller Camshafts (FOR EFI) 1985-95 engines originally equipped w/ hyd. roller cams." Does that mean it wouldn't work in a carbed engine?
