I am looking into building a mild kae and I was wondering if anyone had any experince with the PDM Strong cam(Intake-268 duration & .441 lift; Exhaust-272 duration & .447lift). I would really like getting it here soon, so let me know what you guys know about it!

Thanx Bobby

Ehhh... If you're looking for high end power I'm not sure I'd bother with any cam that has a greater exhaust duration than intake duration. To get good high end power out of something like the KA that has high port velocities you're going to need a very late intake close.

Equal duration suits sohc well. Something along the lines of 305 degrees duration and .510" lift.

But realistically if you want to save some money on valvetrain upgrades and rotating assembly components (which would be required to run any cam of that sort), go with a medium lift 275-280 degree grind, something like that colt c404h. You will be pleasantly surprised by what a decent cam upgrade will do for the sohc.
