    Alright guys, need ideas for a cam.
    stock '83 351w - 600cfm 4bbl - headers - "soon to be" ported 58.2cc 302 heads - stock 300 rear with a mini-spool - I would like a rough idle - I don't intend to take the car to the track, just want to do some red light to red light stuff. Smoke the tires occasionally and scare the hell outa those little bastards screaming around in their little "lawnmower on crack sounding" imports !! :biglaugh:
    Thanks, Darrel

    I can't say I don't like the little cars. For gas mileage and regular point A to point B driving sure. And I don't mind the dressed up ones. It's the ones with that god awful sound that drive me insane !!! And if it's not the muffler it's the damn THUMPING speakers ! Guess I'm just getting crotchety in my old age :yup:.

    Just glancing at the Comp book.......

    Extreme Energy
    XE262H
    35-238-3
    Lift: .493" int/.500" exh
    Dur @ .050: 218 int/224 exh
    LSA: 110 degrees

    XE268H
    35-242-3
    Lift: .510/.512
    Dur @ .050: 224/230
    LSA: 110 degrees

    Install either one 4 degrees advanced and you should be "good to go" in the Stop Light Grand Prix. I'm sure there are others but I just happen to have a Comp book handy. You might want to check the Speed Pro and TRW catalogs to see if they have comparable grinds (they do) that will save you some money.
