    pick a cam that makes power from idle to 5500 i ran into the same problems with my galaxie i had plenty of power but if i just put itto the floor it wouldnt start spinning the tries until it reved up a little it was kinda cool i would start out slow but as soon as it revved to about 2500 it would light them up!
    i would pick something like this

    are the 234/244 measurments you gave @.50 or is that advertised duration?
    just pick a cam with lift under .512 and a duration @.50 of around .215-.230
