Trick flow 240s on milder builds versus Edelbrock RPMs

Looking at cam profiles. A Hyd. roller cam @[email protected]. as rumble fish mentioned is where I will start. was thinking a little more. All the input is appreciated guys.

The cam I mentioned is in a 360 @ 11-1, with an automatic & 3.55’s on a 26 inch tire. This was an example. Just for small cams in a high-ish compression ratio & aluminum heads. The smaller displacement engine in a medium weight a body designed to be a 100% driver, can use all the torque it can gather. As Oldiron440 says........
I would add 10° to that.
Actually not a bad idea on a few fronts,
1: Being a manual, it’ll take more cam easy.
2: It’ll be OK w/3.55’s and pull like MAD on the street because—
3: At 451 cubes, there’s no shortage of torque!
IMO, the direction I’d go in for a mostly street 451 & 3.55’s, I’d find a nice stout lobe Lunati cam with as much lift as the heads can handle. Let it rip! And it will.
You’ll be doubling the speed limit at the top of second gear to mid third gear. Tire size dependent.
Your initial notion of a cam @[email protected] is IMO a good one.
IDK about a [email protected] cam with 3.55’s. Gotta find a BTDT guy.
