How would the 306 cam work in an internally stock motor?

 

yes it'd "work" but you'd want some tuning done afterwards along with a 3200 stall converter. AND you'd have to rev that motor higher than you'd probably want on a stock motor, that is if you want to get the most potential outa it...

 

It works quite nice yes, been there done that. Got into the 12s spun 2 rod bearings.

Needs tuning, needs a stall if an auto, gears are recommended too.

 

Valve springs should also be considered when using that cam.Ive been running mine for almost 2 years without any trouble on the stock bottom end.

 

My tranny is out of commission right now, so the shop wants me to get their equivalent of the pro built so i can get whatever stall i need put into it. The reason I asked about the 306 cam is because a buddy is selling it and wanted to know if i wanted it, he is also selling fully ported heads with all new pieces but i have to buy a trans so i cant buy those now. If i dont go with the 306 then what cam is recommended for that I am running?

 

Lol, I would suggest the gm847
But if you were to do it right I would say LE heads and cam.

Be careful of friends with fully ported heads. Have them checked out by a pro before giving any money. Suggestion, say he wants $1000 for them, say you will pay $1000 if he pays to have them checked out and they meet your expectations.

 

The buddy is an engine builder for a local shop and he just checked them and put new springs and such into them, but thats a whole nother deal and money i cant spend right now.

Id go H/C but moneys tight with the tranny issue and I was looking to just doing a cam before winter.

 

if you can get a good price on the 306 i'd take it. i have it in my 383 and it's a little lower than i expected. but i could imagine that cam with some good springs/rockers and a good tune...
