To cam or not to cam...

to cam.. that is the answer..

Go ahead and cam it, but go with a cam one size smaller than the one you listed, otherwise you'll be hating life, or you'll need a higher stall which sill hurt your mileage even more. I can get into why but that's alot more info than you really need right now, just trust me on this one!

one step smaller??? gebus, man, for a STREET motor, yall are nuts, for a car i drive every day, i aint goin over .500in of lift. shit the 450-500hp 302 im building is running a .480in(est) lift cam. when choosing your cam, be honest with yourself, are you making a race car, or a fun daily driver. very very seldom do you get both out of a single package. I advise you call comp cams tech help line, its a 1-800 number so its free, and i would ask them what cam they suggest to run with your package.

the .500 lift cam is what comp set me up with i have no idea why, i got roller motor so naturally i need roller cam to replace stock roller cam..but i told them a whole plethera of shit they really get in depth but yeah comp said thats the one for my car setup....

engine, not motor, unless they have a special breed of hybrid camaros.

here is a pretty fancy shmancy cam

hot rod, you must only look at racing cams, there are plenty of short duration cams check most production vehicles specs.

[hotrod_chevyz]

ive never heared of chevrolet using anything less than a 255 duration cam stock.Thats news to me.A H.O. cam is like a 268-272 somwhere.Stage 1 rough idle stuff.The cam i posted is what i put in mine.thump-a-da-thump-a-da-thump

B&M shift kit=a drill bit,ball bearing,gasket,and a sticker that says "B&M"lol.Stick with TransGo,and gitter done

For the city since its your daily driver i like to use the Lunati Cam. Use it in one of the mustangs we did up.Be sure to get the street cams becuase of the high mileage

[hotrod_chevyz]

A stock 350 cam has its advantages.not up high or down low,but right in between

i'd say not to if you want to drive it to every day og the week and what are you runing 10\1 comprsoin or lower
