labrat Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Been looking for more reasons to tear into my car, and as the intake may have to come off anyway, I was thinking about replacing my cam. Mostly because I have no idea what cam is in it;> Here's my setup: 350 bored .040 over 76CC truck heads (can't remember casting number... pretty stock and 1.94 valves) 10cc dished pistons (I think. They're dished, anyway) edelbrock performer manifold (maybe go to vic jr. later) stock iron manifolds with corked up 2" exaust (definitely gonna be rectified soon) Any suggestions for a cam? Can't go over .500 lift, valve springs won't let me. Any input is, as always, greatly appreciated! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 I would run the Crane Energizer 272. With 1.94 valves and the large chambers you want to increase the low to mid torque. I have a 266 Energizer in my 331 now where it used to have a 284. I would bet if the motor were back in my Camaro it would be faster with the little cam than it ever was with the big one. The 272 should work well in a mild motor and they are only $80 with lifters!!!!! You don't need a Victor Jr. The rated power is 4000-7500! MAYBE a performer RPM, but you should spend money on some Dart SR Torquers with 2.02 valves and 64cc chambers instead of a different intake. The more practical you go the happier you'll be, speaking from experience... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
