Hello everyone. I know people ask a lot about cam choice on here, but now its my turn.
Here is my complete setup.
1980 Monte carlo, 3.73 posi rear
200r4 transmission (no lockup) converter is one up from stock
355 sbc 010 block, Hyper dished pistons (9:1 compression)
492 heads with 2.02 / 1.60 valves, screw in studs and guide plates
performer 2101 intake 1/2" spacer
demon 650 vac secondary carb and HEI dist
Hooker Competion Headers and 2.5" exhaust
OK there is a HUGE 500 lift cam in the motor now and makes like no vacuum to run my power brakes. It's way over cammed.
The car will be used 95% for street driving, maybe see the 1/4 mile 1 time a year.
Looking for a cam that will work with this combo, I am NOT taking the heads off since there is 4800 miles on the full rebuild.. It does run great.
I was thinking the Comp 268, .454 / .454 lift cam ??
I am not going to lie, I would like a little rumpty rump idle.
Anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks so much in advance.
