Here is a conversation on a MOPAR board regarding the use of a single pattern cam with the High-Torque .440" lobe number 4213 with 308 at .020".

Note the valve springs mentioned. 275 - 325 lbs seat pressure from some. I would highly suggest you take a measurement of the actual installed height on your cylinder heads.

However keep in mind this is involving a MOPAR valve spring mass, I have no clue how that might correlate to a Pontiac.

Another interesting related conversation, but due note this involves a BB Chevy valvetrain mass !
