^^ Agreed

Dont think I have ever heard of such a thing as a "highway" cam.. or a specific cam for highway travel.

Ya the power does come in a little higher in the rpms with that cam, But when you are crusing on the freeway you are not in high rpm..

Just givin you a hard time. Sounds like your buddy is just trying to make the sell by telling you its a perfect cam for you because its a "highway" cam..

To answer your question I would not run this cam if you are not intending to get a 3200+ converter
