George, there are very few gains to be made from camshaft upgrades on a
stock JH setup.  If you are running the stock exhaust (especially
manifold) do not dream of camshaft upgrades until you have upgraded to a
dual-port exhaust manifold, and preferably a nice mandrel-bent free-flow
exhaust to go along with it.
