Which Cam Would get me the most power with My Engine Build

692 Views 6 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  DnPresident
I'm looking for the best cam to go with my engine. Is my cam good enough or can I upgrade for more power? I'm looking for power and don't care about MPG but do care about dependability and road worthy type driving. I just purchased a new Super Streeter AOD Tranny with 2000 stall Torque converter but it hasn't been installed yet since I just got it yesterday.

165 cc AFR heads will be installed at the same time of the cam.

What I currently have is....
4:10 rear end
Hydraulic roller Class II Camshaft Specifications:
• .050 Duration: 212° / 222°
• Advertised Duration: 279° Intake; 289° Exhaust

Well your compression is on the low side. Do you plan on staying NA or putting a power adder?
If power adder means nitrous, super charger, turbo or similar then I would have to say no.

I do have a 70mm TB and will add 24lb injectors and calibrated MAF meter to 24lb as well at time of replacing the heads and cam.

Thanks Reggie, like always it sounds like great advice so I'll check into the Steeda #18 Street/Strip Camshaft and 1.7 Roller Rockers.
