looking at the specs, that is a very small cam, you could go quite a bit bigger in duration & lift & still have plenty of vac for brakes or a/c. im not sure what the engine specs are but for a 400 you could go a lot bigger to get more power & bigger rpm range & still have plenty of vac. im not a cam expert to give specific suggestions but maybe some others can suggest another cam or post a new question asking for recommendations based on the engine?
I don't see a STP-1 cam either. The MTP-1 is very small. Depending on the CR it might like small Hi-Test gas.
