Cam Suggestions
Im doing a Resto on my 86 Iroc and Since Im gonna have the Engine out for Paint and a T56 Conversion I wanted to Pep it up abit.
Its a 305 TPI with all the free mods, Minor Port work to the Intake(walls, port smoothing etc etc) Headman Headers and Y pipe, High flow Cat, Banks Cat Back(when I get to it), Fuel Presure Regulator, MSD 6 Ignitions System, Gutted MAF, K&N filters, No Smog stuff and will prob be running 3.73 gears in the Back once I get to the Rear of the Car.
Anyone Have a Decent Cheap(cuse I wont reuse it in my 383) Cam that will work well with the above combo...again cheap
Thanks In advance...

Look at the LB9 cam out of an 88. It's a roller, but you should also be able to find something similar in a regular flat tappet cam. The key here is that cam has a very large LSA, which reduces overlap and mellows the idle. It pulls pretty good at lower RPMs, I can poke along in 4th gear at 1000 RPM without lugging. I can go through parking lots in 2nd gear with my foot off the gas.
