Re: Cam suggestions for a TPI 350
Only the stock cam. Everything else should be tuned.
Actually, you might want to even tune your stock cam

Re: Cam suggestions for a TPI 350
keep duration below 220/220 @.50 and lift under 470/470 and you will be fine. You may lose some low end torque tho if you go that big anyway. I have heard good things about the crane 2032 cam 214/220 and 452/465 lift.

you will probably be surprised if you tune it or get your chip tuned.

Re: Cam suggestions for a TPI 350
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-K1102/ and for cost purposes would something like this work instead? The engine is a base 350 crate same as this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NAL-10067353/ and the cam specs stock are 383/401 lift 194/202 duration at .050 in. so its definitely a step up

Re: Cam suggestions for a TPI 350
The Crane Compucam 2032 or even 2031 seem to be a good choice.
From what I've rad, the TPI with MAF seems a pretty flexible and adaptable setup and you may not need to retune the EPROM.

Re: Cam suggestions for a TPI 350
But would the summit one work? I don't see any major difference that wouldn't make it work and my engine is a flat tappet not a roller.
