Default Cam and exhaust set up question (reversion)

I'm having a motor put together and was going to run a schneider .646 lift cam with in. Duration (.050) 258 ex duration (.050) 270 and a 110 lobe seperation, it will be wet exhaust but imcos with the "s" riser so the water will dump in pretty far back and below the exhaust ports height wise, do you think I will have any reversion issues? Any other input on this cam set up? Thanks

That is a huge cam for a 468ci. You will be very lucky if it does not revert water.

Aim for something closer to 114 LSA if you plan on keeping wet exhaust.

Thanks for the input fellas, do you think this cam would work well? I'd like to make as much power as possible without having issues and break downs

Don't think you'll like that RPM range. Remember, you don't have a stall speed converter to help. You're going to want to be into the power before 2800 rpms
