hey guys i have edelbrock tes headers goin to a gutted cat and a 3 inch pipe to my flowmaster. if i get the vette lt1 cam from sdpc and the edelbrock intake. then put 3.73 gears in my 9bolt posi with hotchis lower control arms and panhard rod wut do u think i will be runnin? 14's maybe?

also wut do u think is better between the 2 cams for performance not price wise

lt1 vette-
201/208 duration @.050 .447/.459 lift 116 lobe sep.

comp cams fuel injection cam-
206/210 duration @.050 .450/.480 lift 112 lobe sep.

 

Depends on what else you do. If you burn your own eproms grab the comp cams. If you don't, the Lt1. The larger lobe sep makes it more EFI friendly but bother are fine. I'd go with the comp cams if money wasn't an issue, but then if that was the case I would do everything in my power to force myself to save for some decent heads. Lo3 had the worst heads the years they were produced. You replace them and you've got yourself a mid 14 car, do a cam (lt1 or lt4) and be in the 13's. It's that simple. Budget minded me would get the lt1 because it's probably cheaper and the lift is perfect for a 305, no valve shrouding problems. Besides, it'll probably be cheaper. Do yourself a favor and never go to a flat tap cam. I've got one in this motor and I'm itching to get rid of it. I took a step forward with the 350 but also a step backwards with the flat tap cam . It's okay for low lift but I want the valve speed and duration that roller provides.
You'll definatly see 14's if you at least use one of those cams.
I'll let either fb or some other guys that have dyno work to tell you which cam is probably best. Obviously bigger should make you faster but there are problems with the engine (head intake combo) that want to keep a 5000rpm redline and a cam that has a redline of 6000. You get a short power band and that isn't good, so again, I'll let you guys decide since I don't have the experience with the comp cam with stock heads.

 

if you add control arm relo brackets to your combo i think you will be headed in the right direction for sure. the cam shoudl be able to carry you way into the 14's if not the very high 13's if you can hook. why are you shopping brand new cams? you can get an f-body LT1 cam that only has a little less duration for under $50, why spend $180-230 on a cam?

yep just bought a LT1 cam for $45 shipped to my door

 

I'm dropping in a rebuilt 350 should I have a lt1 cam or something more aggresive?

 

with a 350 you can be much more agressive with cam selection because you are eliminating hte bore size issue. since the ecm can be adjusted to deal with whatever you want just pick a cam for the rpm range you want the engine to make power and match the rest of the parts to that. then get a custom chip done.
one of the cams that i have seen teh most people happy with is the LT4 hot cam w/ a set of 1.6 rockers. seems to provide really good idle quality, great top end power, long torque curve, and good idle quality.
