shop has engine apart what cam should they put in?
 
I have searched extensivly and have not found the exact answer I am looking for so I'm hoping my fellow members can halp me out.

Part of the problem is that the car is a 1986 which means that I have flat tappet cam instead of a roller which most of the other TPI cars have. So I need to find a nice cam that will fufill these requirements.

-Smog Legal (I live in CA and this is my daily driver)
-Improvement over stock cam (I want to go faster)
-Needs to be a flat tappet cam to go into a 1986 305 TPI engine

Let me know what you guys think. I don't know jack about cams. So far I have found these cams online and think they might work.

-Crane #114132
-Edelbrock #2102
-Comp #252AH-12
-Comp #260AH-14

Dont make a hasty decision.

Alot of people here are not familiar with flat tappet cams.

An XE grind might be your best option, but be patient.

What are your mods? That is the key question. How much cam can you support, and be honest.

engine mods are

-roller rockers
-ported plenum
-free mods
-180 degree thermo
-plugs, wires
-MSD 6AL

I think that's everything. It's basicly small stuff as I don't have the space to do much else.
