Cam change...?

Ok...so I'm sure anyone reading this has seen my other posts. Oil dissapearing, low pressure, etc. Well, long story short: I change my valve covers and now my damn pcv can't gorge itself on oil, so problem solved. Oil pressure still hovers 10-15 at idle, 40 at 2,000 RPM, around 50 at 3,000, but me being me, I'm guessing its cam bearings, having inspected the mains when I did my half rebuild (looked new, no scuffs anything)...I just had to change out my oil crappy Chinese (I'm not sure if that even deserves the capitalization) rockers with some stainless steel ones from PRW. So for now, everything's working...

Now, me also being the teenager who wants to go fast...I have one question for anyone who'll give me the time of day: I want to change my camshaft. Is this a good (or okay) idea, to get some more power...or am I completely setting myself up for a horrible disapointment and failure? I have the pump to keep up, the restrictors in the heads, and the valvetrain for it. It'd be a cam change...

Also, for those of you who have read my other posts, my beautiful engine (sarcasm) no longer smokes...at all...hmmm...

Depends on the cam you have now and what you would choose to change it too! I haven't had an FE in anything for quite awhile, but one of the best pulling 390's I ever had was with a copy of the old hi performance 390 cam the Fairlane GT's had (335 horse cam?) with a fresh set of springs to go with it. If my (really poor) memory serves me correctly it was an Engle grind. Hard to answer your question without knowing the specs on the the rest of the engine.

The right cam and valvetrain in a good flowing set of heads can make all the difference in the world in the performance of the engine! and the wrong cam or mismatched components will instantly turn the engine into a pooch!!!!!
