OK...ENGLE has a moron (non AMC liking fellow..maybe?)answering the 
phone.I told him my whole combo with car 
weight,heads,compression,heads, and rear gears and all!! I guess i'm 
stupid also. I listened to what he suggested. The cam he told me to 
order is NOT a 2300-6300 rpm cam. Also WILL NOT work with 9.6/1 
compression. I did not have access to their online catalog when 
talking over the phone. The cam ### he sold me is a 3000-6800 rpm 
full race  cam. He said he could NOT tell me the advertised duration 
from the catalog listing?? That duration ### would have told me it 
was too high a rpm cam. What the hell?  I just NOW read their online 
catalog..WHAT abunch of crap he told me. I just emailed them and told 
them NOT to send the cam he sold me!!! I picked a different 
grind...570 lift/288 advertised duration(238 @ 50). It takes 9.5/1-
10/1 compression.Also it works from 2300-6300(printed right in the 
#@$$#@% catalog!!!! Guess he thought it would be funny to screw with 
a AMC guy...who trusted his suggestions??///  @#$#@%$^$ I'll let you 
know what they say when i call them up!!Joe--- In
