He said they were used in the Vettes and are mild and great for street motors. He said he used a Speed Pro brand one a in a few customers cars and they had just a slight lope but they idled great and had a nice wide broad power range and are great for a street motor.
I am wanting to get some more oppinions here, write all the cam kits you guys show me and then start narrowing them down and decide from there. I am still trying to learn the whole deal on cams and head work and how to choose the right combo with what I have. I know on my 66 F100 I have a Comps Cam Xtreme 4x4 type cam that works GREAT on my daily driver. It's for more low and mid range and does great on the street. As for sound (lope) it is nicer than stock but nothing crazy at all. I was considering this as well since it seems to work in my 351W motor that is drive on the street (horrible on gas though which I think is due to the 3.77 gears and C4 tranny).

well good luck i just rebuilt two engines that someone built both were wiping thru there 2 cam one 402 and a small block that wipe out 2 cams .the cam you want a blue print cam 327/350 erson .crane .lunati .as well as many other cam grinders made them speed pro had them to i had one 28 years ago
