motor build
ya did a search but have too many variables to really get dialed in. this forum is a great source tho and thanks to all that contribute.
am building a 350 small block numbers matching block. I have a torqer intake with eddlebrock 650 cfm? carb. pistons are trw .100 dome with .076cc stock heads (aprox 9.7:1 compression). does any one have similar setup and or advice on cam selection? i will be putting headers on this build.
i would love a nice lopy idle but have very tall gears (4 speed) so am trying to be very cautious on drivablility. i am however a driver (not push peddle and go guy).
what do you all think?

Stay with a mild cam so as to not lose much torque. Look into Comp Cams Extreme Energy products.

thanks for the reply's.
am looking at the lunati voodu series.
next question, would i be well off to junk the torqer intake. and if so what is recomended. i think i have run across a few running the rpm?

With stock heads and a stock bottom end yo uare not going to get much more than 5500 rpm out of the motor. The Performer intake is all that is needed and will give you the hood clearance you need. The Performer rpm is good to 6500+ rpm and needs good heads to really take advantage of it. With tall gears you need all the torque you can get.
