hey

engine is a 350, stock 75cc mexico smoggers, shorty headers, performer intake, Edelbrock 600carb.
The cam in there now is 204&214@.050,with .422&.444 lift, total duration is 262. I dont know who makes the cam,I think it may be Crane under another name. I got it from a local engine shop.

I was thinking of swapping in a comp cams x/e 262 or 268.

Ran your set-up on the desk-top dyno.
Present cam=270hp.@4500 and 358lbs/ft@3500
xe-262=294hp.@5000 and 356lbs/ft@3500
xe-268=300hp.@5000 and 340lbs/ft@4000

You should see a .15-.3 improvement in e.t.
If it was my car I would probably save for a set of heads and do
both at the same time but thats your call,hope this helps
