Default cam decisions....

Well i got my all forged stroker kit ordered for my 350 and im wonderin wat kinda cam i should get and by who. A solid, hydraulic, or roller cam. The CR is gonna be 10.69 to 1 on Edlebrock Performer RPM heads with the 64cc and hopefully make around 350 to 450 hp. The car is gonna be a street/strip machine. I just cant decide...

If you can afford it go roller. Those who run them here say nothing but good things about them.

What kind of carb, exhaust, transmission, rear end, etc do you have?

I imagine that something in the 220-240 duration at .050 with over .5 lift will make that car move.

I've heard good things about Isky. Personally I'm running the infamous Comp XE268H, but haven't had any problems yet.

Check out this web page.
It has a calculator you can download
