Rumblefish, why don't you like the Edlebrock performer cam? I was going to put a vodoo in but I choose the performer? Did I make a mistake. does it suck because of Performance or is the adjustable valvetrain? I am curious to hear from you
Sorry I have a performer rpm cam? What is your take on that cam. I have the same manifold a 650 demon carb 4 speed with a 8 3/4 391 rearend. The also has headers a MSD dist and box. I have roller rockers and Sure Seat springs. I would like to hear your thoughts on my selection oh the engine is a 360 I don't know the compression because I have not had the engine apart.
The cam is a (Very) slow rate of lift and ramp speed cam with more exhaust duration than needed for the heads they package togther as a "Matched set" and OH! Not to mention that the heads, as advertised flow very well in the higher lift ranges that the cam doesn't even think about taking advatnage of. WHY IS THAT?!?!??!
How cares!!!!!!!!!!!
At a min, I'd be looking at a Comp Cam and for surely entertaining a Voo-Doo / Huges engines cam.
Your set up sounds good. If your comp ratio is 10-1, your making 400+ hp.
The biggest issue on this forum and the opinions expressed by those here is choice. You and others take to much stock in certain items. While IMO, I'll use a different and better cam for your or my set up rather than what Edelbrock sells, the difference could be a good bit more power, but if your just cruiseing the street and/or minor strip runs, the real bottom line is if your happy with the way the car performs.
A Mistake? Opinions on cams and etc... are so wide and varied, the changes so small, hairs are split everyday on these choices. It's small potatos in the big picture. And that would be the grin on your face everytime you mash the go pedal.
Everyone has there opinion and a cam as well as other parts, but cams pull the most opinionated and most debated subject there is here and anywhere you talk about it.
Go on, start a thread. Title it, what cam to replace my RPM cam?
Watch that list grow big and fast.
