This post is WAY old, back from the dead from the second time, Still smaller displacement and flow = less power

That's a 335. It makes more power than a 305, but less than a 383 that you could build for the same or even less money.

actually theyre 305 heads that have been extensively worked and ported. reason being:
305 heads with a little work can flow just as good as nice 350 heads, and they have much smaller chambers.

smaller chambers=higher compression

higher compression=more ponies at the wheels

but guess what i just found out about the "good deal" on my 29.99 cam.....i called the company that made it just to be sure what i had and heres what i found out......

LIFT
int-.390
exh-.410



i knew it was too good to be true!!!!

now i get to have fun changing a cam while its in the car.

the thing that makes me happy is even with a basically stock cam my car still feels like an alcohol dragster!!!

ok now that ive accepted reality and have to change a cam, what do you guys reccomend? ive heard good things about zz3s and zz4s. what about lunatis? suggestions?
Get a lunati roller, trust me its worth it
