Mark,

I'll have 3 different cams available, one that's AMG spec, one that's a 
touch beyond that (and really the limit of what hydraulic lifters will 
deal with) then my Hot cam which will require a mechanical lifter 
conversion. 

You can see the results of the AMG spec cam on my web site under my 89.  
That's with 10-1 pistons, Mercedes cast tri y's, AMG cat and muffler.
