Need some help picking out a cam.
Hello everyone. My 305 spun a bearing so i am going to build a 350 to replace it with. I am going to build the bottom end so it will be able to handle a supercharger if i decide to get one later on. I plan on using vortec heads and a mild cam. I just have no clue when it comes to cam specs, so hopefully you guys can help me out.
Well I'm m aiming to get anywhere between 350-400hp in the end before the supercharger. I would also like it to have that lopey idle sound, and i don't mind too much about gas consumption. I also want to stick with the hydraulic flat tappet lifters.
If anybody can give me some information on what cam would be best for my application, it would be greatly appreciated
