207:214, 437/459, 117 LSA??? Good street cam??

 

Is it roller or flat tap?
Sounds pretty good to me. That's a lot of lobe sepration so you won't have problems with the ecm freaking out.
The lift and duration are both very mild so you wouldn't need much tuning with fuel pressure and timing to get it to run well.

 

soudns small for a 350. it will be better than stock though.

Yea, why not get a tad more radical? Common, do it, you know you want to

I felt dirty saying that.

 

well guys, that is the cam that is in my 305 currently. It pulls to 6800 easy. I was considering using it in my L05 engine, except with 1.6 roller tips, so I could get the lift that you see in that figure. It is roller, and it is the stock replacement Melling cam for an '89 vette. I figured it would be great in a 350 since it is a bit much for the 305. however, I wish it had a tad less lobe seperation, but at least I'd be okay with the CPU. I'm looking for 300hp plus with the least hassle and tuning. what better wat to get it than an RV cam that I alread own. Anymore comments? would 112 be too much for the stock chip if I found a similar cam grind???

 

Jprevost read my mind by the way. Also, how much less hot will it be in the 350 vs the 305? I need some lowend torque!!!!!@!!!!!! mine is all gone with that cam in the 305.

With that cam, I am also adding 2.02/1.60's to the L05 heads, as well as the 1.6 roller tips, and a 3 angle valve job, and the bowls cleaned up. Also 9.6:1 CR, Will I see 300hp??

 

Not with the TBI. As has been documented in the past, even with 65pph injectors, a TBI can flow enough for 230-240 hp. You'll need to do something about fuel flow to get near 300 hp.

The cam looks good though. Should be able to handle efi well.

 

I disagree. I think the stock TB unit can flow enough for a 300hp 305, 350, 400, whatever size engine so long as the intake manifold is designed correctly.
If you want to make lots of power with a small TB in ANY intake system, it's best to have a large area or air for the engine to draw from. Simply put: Get a big intake manifold with lots of plenum volume and if you need more, add a spacer! It isn't that simple but 98% of the time this is what you need to do to make horsepower without the huge cfm flow rate of the TB.
A perfect example is the Ram Jet 502 that uses a STOCK L98 TB unit, huge plenum = plenty of power.
I'm thinking about swapping on a stock size TB unit onto my motor and seeing what I can run in the 1/4 with some tuning. I probably won't be able to afford running it on a dyno so I'll either invest in a g-tech or plunk down the cash and go to the strip ever weekend.

 

Can someone explain to me about lobe separation. For my set up, what do I need? I have gained that 117 is good for efi, but does that also hurt the performance compaired to the same cam with 112 LSA? What's the difference if they are the same grind except for the LSA other than peak torque?
