hey i have a 88 firebird with a 305,i rebuild the engine recently and added headers and a flowmaster muffler..now i want a cam but i need help choosing the best for my car.

i wont something that will hit but i dont want to install a stall torque converter so i dont wont nothing major, just something noticeable

price range between $100-250 thanks Tony

 

Are you going to be using a turbo charger, super charger, or nitrous?

 

no

 

So why did you post it on this forum then?

 

idk it said power added so i thought this would be the place to be

 

yea, it meant forced induction. It's a running debate over the fact it's ambiguous.

Anyway, tech/general engine is where you want to be. Another heads up, your question is incredibly common, try using the search button and see what others in the past have been recommended, and look up those cams. That way you'll be a step ahead when you ask for a recommendation in the tech/general engine forum

 

thanks for the tip Sonix but since i already made this tread so there no need to make another one right.

i was looking on ebay and i found this cam,how do they sound

maybe a nice moderator will move this to the tech/general engine forum then

Put some more detailed car info in your sidebar information.
Example, is this a TPI motor? Or, i'm guessing it's a TBI motor, but I want you to confirm that first.

I didn't realize the lift was that high on the cam, is that spec'd with 1.6 rockers? Either way I think you will have to pay attention to it, ie, use offset locks or something, or else the retainer will be hitting the guide. You'll also want some new valve springs, and seals, while you're at it.

If it's a TBI motor, cruise over to the TBI board, there's a few mods that are good starter modifications on those motors. Exhaust was a very smart move, i'm not 100% sure the cam is the best next move though. Double check with other members.

 

k i look over there and yeah it a TBI engine

 

umm this look better for my needs

That's a pretty similar cam there, just has smaller exhaust lobes. The larger lobes help out with a stock restrictive exhaust setup. I suppose the CS 262H-R12 would work well for you.

Put your car info in the sidebar!

 

sidebar? im a noob here lol plus im a little slow
