Cam for TPI engine..
Looking for a cam that will work well with a factory TPI setup.. It would be for a non-roller 350.. Looking for something somewhat inexpensive such as a summit cam or the like.. preferably something a little more aggressive than stock but compatable with a factory prom.. any suggestions?

Take a look at the Federal Mogul SpeedPro CS-1014R.
Intake Exhaust
.050 dur 204 214
SAE dur 270 288
Valve lift .421 .488
Lobe cen 107 117
It is very little more than stock, nice idle,good mpg, but aggressive when asked to be so. Does not require a chip mod. I think paid something like $80 for it.

I vote that this cam would need a tune in addition to the retro-roller
kit.

When you guys say "need a tune" with this cam or that cam, are you saying that it needs a tune to run optimum, or that the TPI cars don't like aftermarket camshafts, and it will need some tuning to not have any driveability problems?
Other cars I have built have/had a pretty good adaptive system and the cars rarely had any driveability issues. Yes, they'd run better if FINE tuned for the new setup, but it was never a necessity...
Is the consensus that the TPI maf cars are not that mod friendly and require aftermarket tuning to avoid problems?
Just trying to do some research on my own possible non-roller TPI cam swap....Thanks.

It depends on how big of a cam you put in I guess. The more drastic the change, the greater your need for a tune. You should be able to get away with small changes without encountering driveabilty issues but you may not even end up with a significant increase in power.
