is this a good cam??

Thank you very much kind sir, I do try and I hope no one minds my humble opinion. I have built a few engines in my day and yes, I have made a few mistakes along the way as well. I worked the counter in a local speed shop for many years and the cam thing was always a thorn in my side... So many people asking for cams with the bumpy lumpy idle, and so few that really understood the big picture.

Again I can’t stress enough that it is all in what you want out of the car... I totally agree with CUUDAK the Voodoo cam is a Chebby Grind. Although I really like the Purpleshaft cam he suggests it may still be a little hot for a stock setup. Mopar Performance Purpleshaft P4452783AE may be a better choice for a stock engine with lower compression. It's a little milder and makes power from idle right up to 5800 RPM. It’s a 268/284, grind with a .450/.458 lift and has a 115 degrees of lobe separation. This cam and lifter package sells for around $177.00 on Summit Racing’s website. Don’t forget to order a new timing chain as well, and I would replace the valve springs. Although a stock setup will limit the output in the higher RPM range it will work with the factory 4 bbl setup and manifolds. With the later addition of intake carb and exhaust work you will really start to see the engine come alive. Add an 1800 RPM converter, shift kit, 3.2*:1 gear, sticky tire and look out Clark Kent!!!
