in the final stages of an 1835 and would like some ideas on cam size, not a daily car, round ported CB044's, dual 44idf, 1 1/2 merged ex, valves 40 and 35mm, 8.5 comp,counterweight crank, maybe 1.5 ratio rockers, so far a stock gear box, got the heads used with single springs, are dual springs needed, heads have a mild port job, you think a Web cams 86a too much?

I would stick with the 1.1 ratio rockers. Never run over 290 deration on the street. Everyone I have talked to likes the Web 86 for a street motor.
Engle 110 is rough but may work OK? Do you really need 8.5 compression? New valve springs should be used. I assume it is 92mm cylinders. You can use 94's if you have the cylinder machined at the bottom to slip in. The 94's are better then the 92's. Course you will have to open up the heads. One thing leads to another.

the c95 is 294* and .416 lift at the cam, a little much for an 1835
