LOL...same question 4 me too.
Sportsman2 heads
.488/.510lift @ 1.5 rocker + 1.6 rockers
234/244 dur
shortys 1 3/4
RPM intake
I got a 750 right now and its nice on the WOT, but really rich on the normal drive and idle.

If the valve guides haven't been cut down, you won't have enough valve travel to run that cam.

If the guide bosses were not cut down then you can have all the spring you want but when the valve opens you'll bottom out the retainer on the top of the valve guide.....which is bad bad bad!
