As Erik stated, we need lots more info. Such as: vehicle weight, type of trans, what stall, final drive ratio, carbs or ?, what compression ratio, type of heads ... CC's, how much time on the street vs. strip, Best bet is to download a vehicle spec sheet from one of the reputable cam grinders. They should be able to suggest a good grind for your application. However, (IMO) I think you might be better served by starting first with the vehicle, then building the motor & drive train around it.
Yeah, what Don said. If you complete one of the cam manufacturers spec sheets accurately they will recomend a cam for you. It's a free service, and you will get a cam correct for the application.
where do i get one of these sheets>?
thanks guys
Comp Cams has one online that you can download, it's the one I usually use and have always been pleased with the cam that they send me......JMO. I'm sure most of the other cam manufacturers would probably have the same available for download.
