Better Cam than Stock for 305?
 

Hey guys i was thinking of switching the weak stock cam for a better cam but i have no idea what i should get. any ideas? and also how much of a horsepower difference would a upgraded cam make and hopefully gas mileage won't go down too much since this is my daily driver lol.:confused:

The LT1 cam is a good one, however you'll need an electric fuel pump for it, and you can find the cam cheep, and it will allow you to keep the same heads. There is a section or two about this in the LT1 cam digest thread and in the common TBI mods thread, those should help with some good information too.

why do you mention that he needs an electric fuel pump? I know the LT1 cam doesn't have a fuel pump lobe on it, but why would his TBI not have an electric pump already? :S

I would also recomend the LT1. I have seen both the imp ss lt1 cam and the z lt1 cam in a lo3 running awesome w/ a stock tune. i would assume if your going for the lt1 vette cam, you'd better tune it. i think a tune, no matter, should be done with any cam swap
