What's a good cam for a everyday 350? It may tow a jon boat down the line...
I'm looking at the edelbrok performer intake and cam kit idle to 5k. But id like to here some suggestions. I do want a little lope but mpgs would be little of a concern. Maybe in the 13+ mpgs but would like a lope when in gear at the stop light. I know its a compramise but...

Why not keep the same one in it? Or is it not running?

I'm anout to get a truck with a locked up 305 and I'm gonna have a 350 built and want a good sounding/ performing cam

I've been looking at this cam

Seems to be what I'm looking for. Lob center is good and lift is also. Again this will be a daily driver. Help guys remember I'm new to chevys:) will this work with stock heads and springs?

According to the spec sheet you posted, the springs that Comp specifies are a bit stronger than stock and will necessitate machining to your cylinder heads (if stock).

Have you called Comp about the cam you are looking for?

Thanks. I haven't called I figure you guys could point me in the right direction better than a tech/ salesman on the phone. I like to get others opinions and experiences before I talk to a salesman, so I can sound like I know what I'm talking about

Well I called comp cams... he told me id have to upgrade heads, rocker arms, hedders, and so on.

K so I called ebrock and spoke with a tech... way more helpfull than comp. Anyhoo he suggested the 2103 cam for a little lope and power. Sounds like this may be it anyone have any suggestions?

This is the cam I put in my truck. Its one of the extreme energy cams. I picked it up locally for 120 dollars, cam and lifters. It is the biggest cam I could get with stock valve train. Its got a nice lopey idle and quite a bit of power.

Sweet! Thats more of a cam... How is the lope when in drive while pressing the brake?

1979C20 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 22, 2012, 12:24:40 pm »

I have a manual transmission, so My idle sits around 400-500. It sounds real good. Its got a great rhythm to it. I'll see if I can find a video of it running somewhere.

Sweet! Thanks! Really appreciate it!

454Man · « **Reply #12 on:** February 23, 2012, 06:41:25 pm »

Did you ever get the video?

Valves tend to float over 4k rpms with stock springs, so a valve spring upgrade would be helpful.

Thanks for the heads up. Can can I use the timing cover and distributor from the 305?
