Cam!!!
Permalink Closed

OK, I've got an 86 SS, stock 305, 3.73 rear end, 200-R4 tranny. Flowmaster type exhaust hit. Im tearing the CCC out, I dont like them, i've heard good arguments on both sides, but im ditching it. Anyways, I'm going with an edlebrock carb/intake combo, smog delete, HEI distributor, summit headers heat/AC delete. I'm just having trouble choosing a good cam. Its not a daily driver so I could care less about MPG, I just wanna beef up the 305 while i do some body work and some interior work, then will come the bigger engine. No matter where i search I keep finding information the contradicts everything.  I found a really nice Comp Cams kit, it comes with the cam, lifters, valve spring and timing chain/gears.
262/270 advertised duration and .462/.469 lift. Half the people I talk to tell me this will be perfect for what I want, and half the other people say its too big, or the tranny can't handle it. So im about ready to pull my hair out.

heres a link to the Comp Cams

I have also found a really nice Crane Cam set

any Input would be helpful. I'm not trying to make a street/strip monster here, just something to have some fun with while I do some other things to the car.

Looking at those 2 cams, either one will work out great. The Comp cams has a bit more lift and will give you a more of a late 60's Muscle car sound. Thats the one I'd choose. In fact, come to think about it, It's the same cam I have in my 86 SS. But I still have all the computer and emissions stuff hooked up.

The Comp Cams (XE 262) is the one that I have in my 350. Nice cam, with plenty of low end torque.  Has a slightly lumpy Idle (wish it was more, lol). Good choice.
