Cam ????'S

05-02-2001, 04:27 PM

Ok, I can't figure out what I need.

It has been a long time since I played with a performance car, and I only have the money to do it once.

I bought those 89 heads I mentioned earlier (they are rebuilt and ported).

now to improve on the heads; what cam, intake and carb size would you people recommend??

The motor seems to be stock with shorty headers and dual exhaust (no crossover), the clutch pressure seems to be a bit stiff (guessing a performance clutch).

Bought it from a friend who bought it this way and knows nothing of any work done to it.

Now if you are wanting a off-the shelf cam I think you would want a E303 or B303 cam. I believe the E is more low-end torque and the B is more mid-range torque. Then i would prob go with a 73mm C&L right now in summit for only 125. Then around a 65-70mm Throttle body.

My Man look at the COMP CAM that has 512/531 @ 222/230. You will not have to worry again.

first since you want a carb setup get a performer rpm intake and a 650 dp holley carb. then dont use motorsport cams. and that comp cams cam is a bit big for you. you dont want to go 230 dur. for the street.
a low dur. and overlap will help you make power. you need to do everything as a whole so what plans do you have for the car, and what do you already have or know you want

My goal is to improve the performance yet reliable enough to drive to work (35 miles one way).

a gear change will keep me happy for a little while but near future plans are the heads, intake and a cam.

within a couple weeks, either 3:73 or 3:55 gears. wrapping the headers and underdrive pullies.

Bottom line, the ability to kick some butt, but still afford the gas...

We don't have a track near us, so any butt kickin would be stop light to stop light..

Thanks
