I hear Isky cams have better RPM range though,but I've never used one of their cams. hope this will help you,but remember there is no substitution for Cubic inches.That's what make torque and gets you down the road!
So Vegas does that mean I should buy a stoker kit? Sounds like fun...but there are a few issues:

1. I hear that the 84 with crossfire injection has potential as far as being a collectable. So maybe I should keep this engine and put in a whole new 350. My uncle has given one to me out of a '72 chevy pickup. It threw a rod and needs a rebuild, and he's willing to work with me on it. Would this engine fit in my car?

2. Seing as how I just wrecked the 84, I'm looking for used parts. One of which happens to be a hood. Because of the cross-fire injection, I have to get an 84 hood -- no other year. My plans for an engine rebuild are a few months down the road, but my plans to get the car back on the road are immediate. If I'm going to go to a TPI setup, should I pick up an 85-91 hood as well?

3. If I were to buy a stroker kit, would it work with the '72 350? Would it be within my budget? Budget is now 3000 tops for parts and machine work. Tools and labor are covered. Maybe I should just stick with switching to tpi and use headers, exhaust, and a hotter cam...?

4. Uncle said don't mess with the cross fire injection, it's all wired up to the ECU and it will be too much of a hassle to switch to anything else.

Please point me in the right direction here guys. I want the most driveable horsepower possible within my budget, and I don't want to risk trashing an otherwise "collectable" cross-fire setup. I don't really care about gas milage, but a smooth idle would be nice, unless you consider a lopy idle to be drivable. Thanks for your advice, I really do appreciate it.
