Looking for a cam

I was looking for about a .510/.510, for my L98, anyone have any suggestions?

Look at the cams in the CompCams catalog (www.compcams.com). They have quite a good selection of cams there. Why do you want this particular amount of lift? Is that where your heads have their maximum airflow? You'll need new valvesprings with this much lift, although it's a good idea to replace them if they're original and you aren't installing new heads or getting yours rebuilt...

i was told that on my 305 anything more than .500 lift would require piston reliefs. i don't know for sure if a 350 is different, but i'd watch out.

If it breaths well and you are poor, try the HOT cam. $180 bucks. If you aren't poor, ZZ9 with 1.6's might be an option. There is also an slp cam, try www.slponline.com for more info. SLP's cams are all around .500'' with 1.5's
