My concern that the OD would be useless until I was "up" on the cam's sweet spot proved unfounded. I can cruise as low as 1400RPM and the car just tools along perfectly happy and still accelerates smoothly up hills and slight rises. Anything more requires a downshift of course. .

Frankie,

The Duntov cam is VERY mild with a lot of low end torque. I have no problems at 25MPH in 4th gear with mine and 4.11's. If you had more of a performance cam, you'd have more trouble.

Oh, and where do you find hills in Florida? That is the flattest state I've ever seen. :D

not all that flat where Frank lives (or where John and i live either).... there are enough grades with stop light in inopportune places to be VERY aggravating...

Well - here is the best I can do locally:
"Sugarloaf Mountain is the highest point in peninsular Florida at 312 feet (95 meters) above sea level.[1] It is in Lake County, near the town of Clermont."
No argument....it certainly isn't in a league with most other state's mountains!

The county I live in varies from sea level to 6000+ feet above it. Now THAT'S a hill.
