just one more cam selection thread

low compression, stock gears, stock converter and 255/70 tires and you would stick an old school 268 in it, not even the later xe UD Harold better version?

Probably won't go north of 5000 RPM to be honest

I know this post wasn’t directed to me but you do not always need to stick in the most radical lifting high lift cam in every engine.

The power difference is super minimal for starters. Lazier Ramps are easier on the valve train and go more miles without issues.

I’ll take an extra 50K miles over 50 or even 100hp I my actual driver that is super similar to exactly what the op wrote about.

You constantly ash cam manufacturers for the “Chevy love cams” in our MoPar engines for the sake of mo-power. It’s not always needed.

But if in your head (that’s everyone reading this) it makes you happy, enjoy the mental hp!

FWIW, I still run into people (older thanks sometimes) that state emphatically that a manual choke carb makes more power than an electric choke carb.

Whatever bro! Enjoy the (mental) HP advantage!!!
