Yes it is 157 thousands in the hole and as for retarding the cam timing we were told that by the machine shop he said it would help give it that lopey sound and help with top end power

Was that cam have any lope sound at all cause my son is building a 440 for his 66 barracuda and bought the same cam he rebuilt complete motor using flattop pistons 1.5 rolker rockers 452 stock heads pocket ported and bigger valve springs 780 Holley carb and torquer 2 intake he wanted a lopey...
