Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Cam question



Davis,
All of this is very new to me. I am not looking for anything radical as I have no intention of taking the car to the strip. I'd like to keep my Edelbrock performer and 4 barrell carb, but thought a cam might help.
I was talking to some local motor heads this evening at a cruise in car show. One fellow suggested that I put 355 gears in the rear. What do you think?

Charlie,
 If you do some porting,  valve job, and new competition springs, also a higher stall speed, You could go with the Summit big cam for a nice lumpy idle and much better strip performance. You will also need to run a torker intake and a holley 650 Dp carb.
 If I knew your specific goals I could give better reccommendations.

Thanks Davis. I was looking at your pictures. You obviously have lots of experience. If I were to hold off and do a cam and some headwork over the winter, what would you recommend?

Charlie,
 The Summit small cam would be perfect(summitracing.com). You can even still use the stock valve springs and the cam and lifter kit is only like 80 bucks,

Thus far, all of my engine work (304) has been external - headers, manifold, carb, coil, etc.
I'd like to change the cam without going so radical that I need to do head work or any other motor work. Any suggestions in terms of brand and "size"?
