The hot cam is SMALL man...even in a 350 it's a small cam. I think they're crazy. I would do some searches to see what other guys are doing. But really if you haven't got the head work done yet i would wait - once you get a flowsheet for the heads and know what they flow then call up a cam place and get a custom grind.

Well since you say you just gonna use you stock untouched heads. Just toss a Comp Cam 306 in it for now with 1.6 RR's and new springs. Then when you get your new heads get a custom grind to match your flow #'s.
spec on the 306 are
230/244 dur at .50
.510in/.544ex w/1.5RR's
.540in/.577ex w/1.6RR's
112 LSA

If it was me, I would talk to Elliott. I would recommend going with the LE2 package. I'm sure if you talk it over with him you could just buy the cam. Then, when you have the cash have him do the heads. LE2 cam make more HP & TQ then the cc306.. http://www.eportworks.com/LT1LE2.htm
