Re: cam changge

No.

That is WAY WAY WAY too much cam for any street driven 305; but most especially a near stock one.

If the car has 3.42 gears or higher, and a manual trans or an auto with a 2500 RPM or higher stall converter, then this one is known to work well. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...2D12%2D238%2D2

If it has less gear, or if it's an auto with a stock converter, go with this one. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...2D12%2D234%2D2

With any aftermarket cam, get the recommended valve springs along with the retainers and keepers. Better rockers (non-rubber) would be good too.
