Camshaft suggestions

Garrett, that’s the biggest problem I think on my end. So many cam choices. I have a hard time with the importantant aspecs and how they will affect the application. A little overwhelming at times. Example:
Advertised Duration
Duration at .50
Lobe Seperation
How all of the various values come into play and depending on the value...affects performance. Again knowledge is somewhat limited When it comes to the internals and matching everything up.
Love following this thread, the OP asked about a mild cam for his 360 w/318 heads, low compression w/2.76gears following the last 4pages the cam recommendations get bigger and bigger, the arguments get better and better. I don’t think I need to get into the dick measuring contest, cause mines is like “an acorn in a squirrel’s nest” I’m just here for the party.
Spot on!! I’m totally confused now!!!!
What should I be looking at? Advertised Diration? Duration at .50? Lift? Ugh!!!
Excuse the ignorance. That’s why I’m here?
I’m trying to find the best solution to a rather horrific problem. The plus sign is that the bottom end appears to be intact and in decent shape.
