I'm in the middle of a rebuild and have installed a "mild" street cam, with
the cam came instructions and a power curve discription of the cam -- long
story short - I was advised to gap both intake and exhaust to .016" -- no
mention of the header installed or not. I have one and I'd think that most
with a mild street cam would have a header installed.
