Re: cam change

Thats a lazy old school cam. Much better modern grinds available.

I'd go with a comp xe256 in a 305 with 081/416 heads and 9.0:1ish compression.

Re: cam change

I had two of those 1103's (or the Crane/GM equivalent) in my 350, before I got wise. Swapped to an XE262, no other changes. Straight away much more pull across the whole rpm range, much better throttle response.
