Cam gurus
I'm shopping for a cam. I have an 88 vert, weekend warrior. They just closed the track 4 mi's away. So I'd like to keep the mustangs in my rearview mirror & smoke the tires leaving car shows. I have a basicly stock 350 with 4 bolt mains (cracked block), stock trans, Borla catback exhast. Will be deleting cats and adding headers (future). Ported 113s, Edelbrock runners. No 383 mod. I just had $700 cut from budget due to ant invason, in 10 years never seen them so bad.
I know comp 08-501-8 are highly recomended dur. 212 int./218exh., ad. dur. 264 int./ 269 exh. lift 0.488 int./0.495 exh., lobe seperation 112
How about Howard cam 180235-12 or 14 dur. 213 int./217exh.,ad. dur.
266int./270 exh.,lift 0.485 int./ 0.495 exh., lobe seperation 112 or 114.
Any thoughts or suggestions are apreciated. I'll also be doing a shift kit. I'm trying to stay away from a new torque con., but realize a new tune maybe needed. I'll also be adding new valve springs, and rockers.
Thanks Joe

In your shoes I would pick either cam, but I'd definitely get rid of the stock 88 TC. 2000-2200 stall should be just fine for you.
