Just remember with that lopey cam comes a requirement of a better intake and carb combo. I'm sure you know that but I'm surprised how many think they can get a rumpety rump sound with stock parts. With that RPM intake and 750 Holley, you'll be alright. You need a cam with about 280 duration to get into the rump rump zone. Keep the LCA (lobe centerline angle) no lower than 112 if you want drivability. More duration will raise the powerband so make sure your heads are also up to the task too. A 1 5/8 tube diameter and a 2 1/2 collector if the engine is stock/close to stock, or a 3 inch collector if it's modded. Hope that helps.

You could just get the bigger cam and get a set of GT 40 heads for less than a $100 dollars. Then get a 351C intake made for the 302 for about $245 dollars and make yourself a BOSS 302. Theres a guy here that builds them all of the time.

Jegs and summit both have the cam's and jet. I would go with either a solid or roller setup since your engine is going to be about anyway. Don't forget about the lifters.
