Cam Help???

Robertson Racin · 12-26-2002, 02:58 PM

I need some help finding a cam.

What I have is a stock 390 in my Mach 1.
I bought an edelbrock performer intake, and Hooker headers. I will be running 2 1/2 inch exhaust. What I need is to find a cam that I can install without having clearance problems. I don't care about idle or gas mileage. I'm just looking to spice up this motor a little, till my windor is done. If it helps, I bracket/street race..

Why not do the same thing I did. I called Comp Cams, discussed my combination and let them recommend the cam. Work out for me. Car got a lot quicker.

That's what I run in my street driven moderately modified 306 / C-4 / 3.25 combo. It's just right for me. I do run 1.7 roller rockers though to give a little extra valve lift (.486 vs .456). Good pwer from idle to 6000 RPM with a standard Edelbrock Performer intake and a 625 Road Demon and Tri-Y headers, 3 chamber Flows, 2.5" exhaust..
