I am looking to upgrade the cam in my 350. I'm not looking for anything that requires changing the lifter or rocker type. Some people would say I'm looking for a "RV" cam, others a mild cam. While I am very new to understanding what all of the variables do with each cam, from what I have read I am looking for something in the range of 200/200 to 224/230. Some people say the later is on the wild side of mild cams, while others say its almost not worth the upgrade. I will purchase cam as a kit with springs / retainers, lifters, etc. What are your thoughts / opinions?

Read through Rich Weyand's reply in Re: Camshaft/ intake/ HEI upgrade questions! (http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=26161.msg217491#msg217491) and search for other threads by him using "camshaft" as the keyword.
