Cams for 318's

"HOW TO PICK A CAM" would be the perfect sticky, focusing on usage vs duration vs rpm vs head flow vs lift vs lsa vs cylinder pressure.

Stock heads/stock flow limits lift..
Gears and cylinder pressure restrain duration and dictate lsa etc... hard to make a sticky thats nothing other than gobs of confusion for the average novice. Some things are best left to the professionals... kinda like none of us are gonna do our own open heart surgery's if and when the time comes ;) though I hope this works out.

Maybe a "stage one,two ,three, etc" 318 build recipes would be easier. No matter what, you're gonna see those threads pop up..lol

There are more cam experts out there than there are cams to choose from. Leaving it to the "professionals" is a good idea, and when it comes to small block Mopar engines, that would be Dave Hughes over at Hughes engines in Washington, Il. Just feed him your particulars and you won't go wrong. I have run his cams in everything from stroked and blown small blocks to my present mild build 318 Magnum motor. 309-745-9558. Not sure, but their web site might have a cam form you can fill out.
