I have it in my 396. It's way more cam than you need with a 350. Not the easiest to tune and I strongly doubt you could come close to passing an emisions test. 847 specs

It sure sounds nice thumping away. And once tune it makes BIG power in the upper RPMs. Ramrod, how is Jeb coming along with your DFI installation?

It would be a good cam choice for that. I have a friend that has a MTI built 396 using a 847. It made around 550hp on their dyno. They used ported LT4 heads if I remember right and running 11:1 compression.

Tom, Jeb had PRK work on his eyes and is slowly recovering. Sounds like his eyesight was as bad as mine (20/800). You online on a different computer, can't IM you?
