My brother is rebuilding the 400 in his 77 Macho Power Wagon and is wanting to upgrade the cam. Anybody have a recommendation on a cam to help make a little more power? Its a stock bore engine with stock heads. Just putting new rings and bearings ,new intake and headers... Thanks for the help...
 
I have the Comp 274 Extreme with a 110 lsa in mg 7.8/1 compression 440. 915 heads, Shumacher headers and 3000 stall it runs 12.41 in the 1/4. I am very happy with it. The 110 lsa helps build cylinder pressure on a low comp motor.
 
If it's an otherwise stock build, just throwing headers and intake at it, you probably won't want to go too aggressive with the cam. I'm with Rusty on this one. If you go much bigger you will at least want to go with an aftermarket converter.
