318 Cam Maybe Not

It's been a pleasure chatting here but we have polar opposite opinions about what rustyfish can use in his 318 powered Barracuda. He's not building for maximum horsepower, he just wants a fun and peppy engine with minimal modifications to make it work.

I really never gave an option to the OP about what cam to get. He ask was it worth it and I said yes, and gave an example of a basic combo 4bbl headers and xe262h = 282 hp.
Showing whats possible out of a stock long block 318.

I usually dont give a cam recommendation.
Theres no shortage of that. I like to give them info so they can pick their own cam.

Generally Id say no more than xe262h for 273/318 and xe268h 340/360 unless deep gears and stall is in the cards. But really depends on peoples level of compromise.
