No 205 cam. You either have 203 or 204. If 203's, Id replace with 204's. 204's idle lumpier then 203's.

204's are better for a 95" stock heads and flat tops. 585's need more compression - you will be disappointed or required to spend more on the build. Please do more research if you do any thing other then Andrews 26, 37s or SE204's. Certain woods cam may work but may require a 4* advance key. Plus, you are paying twice as much just for the cam. Go 204's...

You will never get the potato sound with EFI. But an 11:1 compression ratio, major head work, a forward mount intake from Arlen Ness and Thunderheader -- combined with 585s will give you a hell of a sound and 93/103 HP/Tq. I know cause that's what I'm running...
