My point is that you are going about this pretty blind. You don't know what any of your valvetrain components are or what they are capable of but you are sure you can turn 7000 all day. You bought a cam without knowing anything about how a cam works or what the specs mean. I'm not trying to hate but you need to do some research and contact a reputable shop to help spec your build. You will probably get this motor together and wonder why it doesn't run the way you expected it to.

Dude...cancel that cam before it ships, lol. Step away from the "Check Out" button and either do some research yourself or as said above, call up someone to recommend a cam for you. The RPM range for that cam is going to be terrible for a daily driven vehicle. Now if you were building an all-out race vehicle, it's another story, but if you were, you wouldn't be here asking these kinds of questions.
