I found some interesting looking street/strip cam grinds on Crowers site Anyone run any of them

31916 269/282 223/234 .480/.494 112lsa
31242 271/284 222/234 .485/.498 112lsa
31243 282/292 227/237 .480/503 112lsa
31204 280/292 218/227 .474/480 108lsa
31205 290/298 224/234 .507/522 108lsa

I know I'm going to end up making some changes to my 340 to lower compression and swap the cam at some point. I want to bring compression down to 9.5 - 10:1 and swap the cam to something more user friendly. I swapped the Barracuda for the Scamp because I wanted a 12 to 13 second driver that look pretty much stock not the race car that the Barracuda was quickly becoming.

Recap of the combo
9.5 to 10:1 compression 340
LD340, Thermoquad
Ported J heads with 2.02 valves
TTI headers, 2.5" exhaust with X pipe and UltraFlows

904 with 2.77:1 low 1st gear
I'll need a new converter with the new cam, Currant converter is an 8" 4000rpm Turbo Action

3.73 or 3.91 gears.
Street tires will be little 225-70-14s on 5.5" Rallyes.
 
Adam, I'm running the 31205, 290/298 224/234 .507/522 108lsa in a 4 speed Duster with 4.10 gears. I'm using a Torker II intake with Holley 750 DP. The cam range is 2700-6500. It's a strong cam and it's fine around town with the manual and gears, unfortunately, I don't have any #'s to back it up yet. - STAN
 
Thanks ! Thats probabbly the choppiest out of all of them. I would probably use 31243 282/292 227/237 .480/503 112lsa or 31204 280/292 218/227 .474/480 108lsa for my car. I want to be able drive this thing every were.
 
Adam, have you considered the XE HL series from Comp? Don't know if your heads have any work, but if they do,..you could use the additional lift they give. I run the XE 275 HL with my 9 to 1, 340. Runs great with wonderful street manners and torque everywhere. They would be a good fit with your combo. Good luck.
Terry.
