Good cam for 318?

Anything from a an XE252H to XE268H or equivalent is a decent choice for a lightly hopped up 318. Without a converter in the 2500+ range, I'd choose something to the smaller side of the range. Limit the intake duration to about 225 at .050 and you should have a decent, solid runner. More converter = more potential camshaft

The all par article is good, except they talk about lift, when it's really duration that plays a bigger part. Lift is good.... The faster rate cams today have more lift at same durations.
