Re: NEED HELP ASAP!!! which cam to use?

#1. This is definatley not advanced tech.

#2. Give Brett Bauer or Joe Overton a call.

If your not into the "Top secret cam specs":

#4. Call combination motorsports and have them give you a hand.

#3. Call comp cams or crane cams and see what they recommend.

Re: NEED HELP ASAP!!! which cam to use?

I'm using a 234/242 on a 355. I would imagine you could go much bigger with a stroker motor. My buddy put a 233/239 in his and he is not satisfied at all. I assume something in the 240 range would do it on the intake side, but you will have to consult the pros.

Re: NEED HELP ASAP!!! which cam to use?

Not enough info to even guess. Let's start with the following: you planning an HR or a SR cam? What heads are you using? How much street vs. track time? How important is drivability/low speed operation? What is the compression ratio, and so on.

Re: NEED HELP ASAP!!! which cam to use?

Heads, compression, gear, tranny, stall etc.... Those all play into it.

Add in what the car is used for, what you want for drivability etc...

You really can't pick a intake and exhaust duration out without having quality flow numbers.
