I'm just wondering what cam grinds you guys are running in your modified 351w.
I currently rebuilding a 351w in my '82GT and am looking for a good street cam. I want something with a rough idle but still streetable(if that's possible)
I be using a C-4 with stall converter, 3:73 gears, 625 carter carb and 10:1 compression.
I was thinking of the COMPETITION CAMS 292* .512/.512 lift
(244* @.050)
Would that be too much for mostly street use?
I was also considering their 280* .501/.501
(230* @.050)
BTW, it's a '74 351w and I'll be using the '69 heads
I realize that cam selection can is critical so I want to make a good choice for my application.
