help with cam selection
Here's my setup
-350 from a 93 1500 with stock internals 72k miles
ARP main and rod bolts
World product s/r torquer heads with mild port work
67 cc with 1.5 roller rockers
Perforer Rpm air gap intake
15/8 hooker headers
700r4 with a 3200 stall
3:73 gears in the rear.
Now I already have a brand new comp cam 270h cam installed but I'm wondering if ill be dissapointed with the over all power. The car is a weekend warrior that will see decent amount of track time. Mainly road racing and drag racing. Goals are at least 350hp to the wheels and I would love to break into the 12's with slicks . Do you guys think my cam is big enough?

Re: help with cam selection
350 to the wheels is a pretty lofty goal for those heads, nevermind the cam.
What's the shortblock setup? type of pistons, deck clearance, CR/head gasket thickness? All that will determine IF it can even handle a bigger cam.

It might have the bosses,but if they are drilled and taped is a crap shoot.

Re: help with cam selection
Those heads flow fairly well with some port work about on par with vortecs. You should probably be between 330-350 crank HP.
