350 For Torque
I read in Superchevy an article that said the best build power-per-dollar they had done was a 350 ,vortec head, Edelbrock Performer Air Gap intake, Comp XE262h cam engine. The cam is .462 I and .469 E with 218/ 224 duration @.050. They ran 1.6 rocker arms which gave .493 I and .500 E. of lift.
My question is, if I switch to the XR270HR roller lifter cam, would I get the same results. The XR270HR is .495 I and.502 E with 1.5 rocker arms.
Which is the better cam for low rpm torque? Or is there a better cam than these 2 for bottom end torque?
Would someone care to tell me what the ideal build would be for bottom end torque? I figure if I have the torque, horsepower and performance would take of themselves.
