cam choice and more ??

[kerwinq]

I am going to be swapping engines in the 4X4 soon and what some opinions. I built a 350 with 10:1 and a mild RV cam in(not sure of the numbers) for a 2 wheel drive.
This engine will be going in the 4X4 but I want to put a bigger cam in to give it more power. I would like to be able to hear the cam, (if I need to add a vaccuum canister that is fine) I have been looking at the extreme energy cam among others. What do you think would be good for a mainly street driven truck?
I will be putting a 750 Carb on, is there a difference between the Carter and Edlebrock?
What would be the best intake to go with?

Thanks for the help, Kerwin

Kind of limiting us on information here eh????

Unless you have decent gears, you will never be happy with a cam that is to 'big'

I know someone (Beast388) with that very cam in his 388....It has a 'slight' lope at idle, and pulls very strong to about 4500 rpm's.

I would guess with the smaller displacement of your 350, it would pull a bit more rpm and have a bit more sound at idle.

I am using the cam that SUBFAN listed above in my 388. That cam was recommended by Comp Cams after I called and gave them all of the specs for my motor and application.

I would recommend that you do the same. Being able to hear the cam isn't nearly as important as being able to mash the gas and launching......rather than stumbling. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

Call Comp cams at 1-800-999-0853 . Give them the specs on the motor, and what you plan to do with the vehicle, and they'll recomend a cam.
