Cam choices for stock 318's

I sat down for a hour or so tonight and banged away at the Desktop Dyno. Don't beat me up over that. I wanted to do a comparison of small block hydraulic cams that we may put in our stock or near stock 318's. I entered specs for 14 or so cams. Most had .050 duration at 220° . Some were below, some just above with the largest being 227°. The lift spec ranged from .400-.479. Most were 110° lobe center , some were 112° and a couple were ground on 108°.l tell you what, the HP and torque ranges were all pretty close. HP was 280-300 and torque was all around 325. The HP peaked at 4500-5500r's and torque was from 3500-5000. Other than the rpm range where things peaked at they were all quite close. If I was to buy a cam to put in my stock bottom end 318 with 302 heads and dual exhaust, LD4B intake and 600-650 carb I would choose the Howards #711381-10 208/214 255/261 .479/.494 110°. It produced 302 hp @5500 and 338 tq @ 3500. This cam was only 5 hp from 2 or 3 others and the same for the torque numbers. In closing, If you have a stocker 318 and want to put a cam in it. don't look for a magic bullet. There isn't one. You will need a big cam, convertor, gears, headers, single plane intake,good sized carb etc to get the big numbers from your teen. tmm
