reccommend a cam for my setup
ive gotten a few reccommendations and i'm heading to the engine shop today for a few more... but i thought i'd toss it out there just for opinions sake.
my combo:
350, unsure on CR
stock heads 624 castings IIRC, thevye been worked on, i believe shaved to 70 or 72cc.
performer rpm intake
holley 650 or edelbrock 600 carb (unsure what i'm leaving on it yet)
MSD ignition (distributor/6a/coil)
SLP tri y headers
t-5
3.27's
car is a driver, rarely sees the track or high rpm's. i can count on one hand the # of times ive revved past 4500. i generally dont beat on her too much.
competition cams xe262 and xe268 have been suggested to me so far.

You probably have horribly low compression 8-8.5:1 so you need a small cam to keep the dynamic compression ratio high.

Some of the new Lunati cams look really interesting and that's where I'd head if I was in the market for one. Their Voodoo line offers assymetrical lobes with aggresive ramps on the upside, but a radical looking downside ramp which sets the valve down quite gently.
My best advice ...
