I was thinking about rebuilding my 5.2L 318 small block, and going with a few preformence parts. Push rods, Lifters, Rocker arms & a Camshaft. Now the camshaft I'm interested in is rated at basic operating range of 1000-4500RPM. Qwestion is if this camshaft would be safe to use on a daily driver? Why or Why not? Thanks - Matt

Well, you'd likely be better off putting this in the Grand Cherokee forum. There are no 318's in here.

Moved to correct forum.
The rating on your new cam, 1000-4500 IMO would be fine for a daily driver. The rpm ratings are to help distinguish between race cams and non-race cams. Race cams would go, for example, from 2500-7000 rpm.
You can always check with your supplier to verify.
