my engine is running pretty good, i mean it only has 75K ORIGINAL miles!!!pretty sweet huh?but yah i am going to look into a cam, and then heads. thnk you 68chevelle u have helped alot. and about the posi do i need it or am i ok with out it.

[68chevelle]

umm, it kinda depends on if you have traction or not. so its probably mostly going to be decided by what cam you choose. i know i need one. if you have traction without it there is not a lot of reason to get it, but if you dont then the answer would be yes.

alright cool. and u said u had a 262 cam(comp cams) and that owuld go fine with my edlebrock carba nd intake?after i add the cam, with the exhaust, headers, carb, and intake, what kinda power am i gunna have?if u know, thanx

[68chevelle]

umm, well yeah, but mine if from the xtreme energy line. they have differnt ones like hight energy and magnum cams and stuff but i dont know if they use the same grind number for anything else(meaning the number 262). sence your asking about that cam, your kinda lucky. that is one of the cams that comp cams used in an engine and dynoed and then posted the dyno sheet on there web sight. your probably going to be a little less depending on your spacific combination, especialy heads and mabe compression. http://www.compcams.com/Technical/Dy...62H-10_001.asp
if you notice they used the edelbrock intake and it gives the other info on what they used. i would defenetly sugjest getting a bigger carb if you do a cam swap. you should be able to figure out about how much power you would be making roughly by comparing what you have to what they ran in the dyno.

what od u mean bye compression.like how do i get better comnpression, or do i need to? how do i figure compression out??so what is the name or whatever of thta cam that they tested, iks that the 262?would a 600cfm carb be ok?yah i found the name, its is the 262, extreme hydraulic or whatever.

you could changed compression by milling the heads , getin differnt pistons . smaller head gaskets lots of things but iw ould check it first you gota get a metter(cant think of it atm)you just remove your spark plug and turn the motor from what i understand
