i have a 350 speed d. motor. the block is bare and i want to build a mild hp motor that i can drive daily but have more performance than stock. I;m thinking about getting a summit rebuild kit. I have the original heads from this motor and i have no idea what kinda cam to get. its a roller motor so i guess i have to get a roller cam right? i'll take any suggestion on size of cam just keep in mind i would like to drive this car everyday. I am going to help the 350 to breath better and i would like better heads but for now i'm using stock. so in all it;s a stock 350 bored 20 over(according to the guy who i got it from.....gonna make sure before i buy anything) factory 64cc heads and some porting on heads and intake. the summit rebuild kit says 9.35:1 with 64cc head. so any cam suggestions?

you dont have to do roller cam u just wont need new pushrods. How much are you looking to spend on a cam? Comp makes springs, lifter, and cam combos that are good. Is this car Fuel injected or carb, stock or aftermarket heads? If your looking for a good sounding and performance cam try a thumper cam by Comp i have heard good things about them.

its a 91 Z28 tpi. and the heads are stock heads from a tpi 350. the block and head numbers match to a 300hp gm crate engine . i want to spend less than $500 on the cam and lifters. i was just wondering if anyone had any good cam suggestions that will go well with a speed density car and wont kill my WC t5. it will be a daily driver about 40 miles round trip Mon-Fri so it cant be to aggressive but i would like more performance than stock.

Yeah this is basically my story as well. Any tips would be appreciated.

You have to find out what the max lift your heads can handle.
If they can handle the lift, I'd say maybe go with a cam in the 218 duration range.
But if you need to, you can get matching springs for any cam.
And stick with a roller cam. It would be a shame to take a step backwards and go flat tappet.
