edelbrock performance package

As already stated, there are more modern lobe designs than the Edelbrock camshafts. Remember though that "slow" or "lazy" ramps may not always be a bad thing. Is this going to be an everyday street cruiser? If so, there is an advantage to those slow ramps.

Instead of slamming the valves shut and beating on the valve train, the older design cams tend to be much more easy on springs, guides, valves and seats. Camshaft technology has come light years "ahead" of where it once was, but sometimes depending on your intended use, you don't need to be that far "ahead".

The Edelbrock packages offer a solid, proven performance gain when all the components are used together in the correct way. It's not as easy as some people think to change parts out on an engine and come up with X amount of a power gain.

Edelbrock has done the work for you there and you will be right on top of or very close to what their advertised power gains show. 'Tit might be true that you can get somethin' with a little more rumpity idle using something different, but what's more important to you? How it sounds or how it runs?

That's a decision only you can make.

Can another more modern combination make "more" power? Sure. But then you are off in never never land making choices about this cam and that cam, this intake and that. If you can drop the coin all at one time, the Edelbrock package is really tough to beat, IMO.
