...and this is why I have a cheap paint job.
If there's one thing I learned about four wheeling it's to spin those tires through the loose sloppy spots. So on the way out I keep the revs high to slide though the mud. Tons of fun-for real.

This would be perfect for your car: http://www.aasesales.com/products/h4e-m58-14g-101514
I've had mine for awhile, it holds up really well.

In the future I'd like to completely remove the shafts to save weight/make more simple.

Sorry, more accurately, I removed the balance shaft belt & rollers to see if I liked it without. I do. (note: reinforcing the oil pan pick up tube is recommended. so I did that also).

I don't have very accurate measuring tools at home right now but from what I can tell, the overall length of the lobs from the edge of base circle to tip distance is very similar of the Milledge 3/4 race to full race. Except the base circle of the full race is smaller. Here's my caliper on the 3/4 race cam. The gap shown represents the extra size of the stock cam (and 3/4 race cam).

Finally cleaned Wilson.
I like doing one mod at a time, but sometimes thats stupid.
Its been 3 days with the race cam in. I broke all the rules. I installed the bumpstick without taking the head off & measuring clearances. Head was (rebuilt to factory specs) installed like 7000 miles ago & I don't have the cash to get bigger valves & port & polish yada yada. Also the head has NA valves. Not recommended.
Anyway, with 3 days under my belt & last nights "TEST DRIVE", I am confident that this current format will be fine for say 6 months until I'm inclined to get some head work done. For the time being I can't say this cam feels more powerful than the 3/4 race. In fact perhaps the opposite. The other cam introduced its powerband earlier and I haven't done the mods that were recommended to make this one go. But I did carryover the 4 degree cam advance key to help lower the powerband.
MY big concern: blowing the engine. Didn't happen. Drove it pretty hard last night, 4500-5200 rpm for 2 hours. Touching 6000 rpm here and there. No Porsches were killed during this exercise.
