318 driver - cam change or not?

204-214 would be a big step backward with those gears- look at the seat duration
advance it or the 360 cam 4 degrees to get cyl pressure back and your gas mileage gets worse
op
take a look at the 318 cam thread stickie and find one with shorter seat duration and more lift
ps the 360 cam is also a step backwards
i'll t
post up your cranking compresson and let AJ run the numbers for you
273 at what checking height
lot of difference between a 260 crane and a 260 Mopar performnce
he's going to loose off the line with even a 256 comp
where he would also loose a little with a 256 lunati voodoo or the short howard he would make it up with the extra area
the 248 MP cam would be worth a look or find a later equilivant
still a lot of bucks
some say the best cam for a stock 318 is a stock 318 cam
here we are talking about stock gears and converter and compression
let's see if we can beat it all the way across OP's power band

Ok, then you recommend him something. In fact, recommend everybody something.
