good choice?

how would a magnum 270 cam be in a pretty much stock 305 TPI auto?

mods are:

megashifter
airfoil
headers
exhaust(3" catback, no cat)
K&N
3.73's
and taylor wires and perf. distributor

think the cam will be to big?

You're better off with a dual pattern cam that's not quite as aggressive. The mods you've done aren't enough to warrant so much duration.

When you get a HSR or equivilant induction system then a cam like that can be justified.

Besides, that cam has way too much overlap for an ECM. I have the 280 Magnum in my '71 Camaro (only slightly bigger) and I know it has way too much.

BTW, I didn't know GTA's came with a 305. I'm sorry.
