Camshaft and Timing Question

I have a 355c.i. with MSD 6al ignition, I want to upgrade my cam and wanted to hear if some of you guys have done this. Also if you have what problems did you run into and include what kind of cam you bought with lift and duration. In addition to that what was your timing set at?

Re: Camshaft and Timing Question

my cam is the comp extreme fuel xfi280HR. LOVE the cam, I would go with an extreme fuel series by comp, they make many different sizes and are designed for fuel injection/tuned port style setups. I have the cam timing set a 0 deg adv/ret (reccomended by comp) and the ignition timing set at factory six degrees with the extra timing programmed into the com puter itself. my cam sizes lift and dur. should be in my sig.
