Need Cam help

donfordman30 · 01-28-2008, 02:20 PM

Looking for a good cam to go with the following set-up. I need some idea's?
AFR 185 HEADS
Edelbrock Performer RPM 2 intake
24 pound injectors
76 MM Mass air
C@L intake tube
1.6 roller rockers
125 Shot NOS
1 5/8 Shorty Headers
H-Pipe
Flowmasters
3:73 gears with an auburn locker
MSD 6AL with distributor.
AODE Transmission with 2800-3000 stall

Looking to stroke the block in the future but only have 30 thousand on the motor. What Cam to use?

Is this on a stock shortblock?

Yes and I need to mention that the car has an AODE (Art Carr) rebuilt race transmission and a 2800-3000 stall. Around 6 more months before I get the 347 block for it.

For that stall I would go with an E303 cam.Much more than that is gonna make it lug the car in gear at idle.IMO

Preston, what about one of the small AFM cams?

Another good candidate for one of Cranes "Powermax" series (the old Compucam EFI cams). They are friendly on duration, but lift figures are generous. Use Crane part number 444225.

Yeah,I do like those cams.Dont know the specs on those just used the Ecam as example.I would say around a .500 lift for the stock block and no more than 224 duration.But again thats just an opinion.Because I think marc has a 3500 stall in the vert with an f303 cam and pulls that car at idle .but not to bad

Crane #444225 is somewhere around .513/.529 lift...and 212/218º duration I think. You'll love it. Prepare to upgrade later though, with the 347. At that point, you can start getting serious.
