cam selection
ok so i'm building a non race season engine for my mustang right now, cause the motor i've got is too much strip not enough street.... my new build so far is a forged steel standard bottom end including crank, rods, pistons, double roller timing chain, ported polished 1969 302 HO 60cc chamber large valve heads, roller rockers, air gap intake, eddy 600 cfm carb, holley electric fuel pump, 2 1/4" exhaust, and dougs headers 1" tube tuned 3" collectors
i need something that'll still keep me ahead at everyone else but not something too wickid

Talk to the cam mfr's. There are just about any selection of street cam you can imagine available now.As a matter of fact,that is about 90% of their business and they will have it because thats what they survive on.With those heads you may get a lower duration,low/even -neg overlap cam recommended for street.As far as street performance,listen to the mfr.'s,things are a changin due to technology.Edit,,,I would suggest changing the heads also while it is a 'street' vehicle,they may also.Just my 2cts.worth.

look for something in the 264 range, about 480 lift. Comp Cams Tech has the low down on them, great cams. If my filing system wasn't so neglected I could give you the part number!!!!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

ok looks like summit actually has a cam about that spec their brand, comes with lifters, costs $80.... sounds like a decent deal to me

Oh yeah! Forgot all about the Summit "house cam", have installed a few, no complaints so far. Sure do work nice for the money.
