BBC Camshaft Help
Ok i need help selecting a cam guys. Its a stock rebuilt 454. Has headers, Dual 3" Exhuast, Performer Intake and a Holley 750 DP. Heads have been ported and polished also. So what do you guys think about either one of these cams. Im looking for good performance but still streetable.

Re: BBC Camshaft Help
You're not going to notice a big difference between either cam especially on the street.
That's a lot of duration for a low lift cam. I'd guess to say it's a roller cam grind? For the specs you have listed, I'd say either are too much cam.
Pick up an Xtreme Energy cam designed for your combination of parts. Just from what you have listed, you only have a very mild engine.
