I'm looking for your thoughts on which cam would be the best route. So I'm looking to get a cam for a low compression 440. I currently have a Performer intake and a 750 Edelbrock carb. I don't have any exhaust yet, but I plan to go with a set of Shumacher headers and a 2 1/2" exhaust. I was originally thinking about going with a Whiplash cam from Hughes because it seems people are getting pretty good results with it. When I talked to the people at Hughes they mentioned another cam they would recommend is their HEH2832BL. Then I read a while back that someone was running a comp XE274H in a low comp 440 running high 12's without being tuned yet. But I also see people saying a lot of good things about the Lunati Voodoo cams. So I was looking at the 268/276 cam.
Here are the different cam specs:
