Any roller with similar specs to the 264 HR will make you a great package.

Thanks Everyone. I am going to try the Howards Cam that I mentioned in the original post. Specs look really close to Mira Boaters Comp 270. Shortblock should be back this weekend hopefully. Then the fun begins.

Spoke with comp cams about the XM270HR cam, and asked about reversion with factory wet, thru prop exhaust. He said that it would be fine with stock exhaust. The XM270HR has almost identical specs to the Howard's Cam I am planning to run, with the exception of the Howard's cam being 114 lobe seperation. If the overlap is less, will that mean less chance of reversion?
