Yeah, I know what you mean there! That's how I ended up with my 274XE cam in my 351w. I think once you mention the word "street car", to a cam company, they instantly go into "mild" mode.
I must admit though, this XE cam has TONS of low-mid range torque.
My next cam is going to be a solid cam.

What timing issues did you have?

I'm still running a stock Duraspark distributor, and when you wind 'em up to 8,000 RPM they throw TONS of timing in. Vacuum is locked out, but the mechanical advance is getting weaker. Had 16* initial timing, and at 3,000 RPM the distributor was adding 54*!!!

So, needless to say, 60* total timing makes for a poor running engine.

Still haven't figured out what I'm going to do, but it looks like I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and buy an MSD distributor. Don't wanna, love my duraspark, but it's lookin like I have to move on.

Just find a shop that can recurve it for you. If you cant find anyone locally, let me know.

Thought of that too. Found a shop that can do it for me, but not before our track rental (Norwalk) this Friday.

I was thinking 32*-35* total, what's your input?
