360 LA cam selection

So many cams to pick from.....:banghead:

So i'll just comment on the Lunati you're looking at now. I don't see a huge issue with it regarding the 9.3 to 1. Yes it's probably as far I'd go for what it seems you guys are looking for, and it may be a little soft just off idle, but should be a pretty nice "hotrod" cam to tool around with. Just make sure it's degreed with the proper advance, and maybe stay a little on the loose side with the adjustment. With that said, I'm sure a custom grind or recommendation from some that you mentioned will probably sway you away from it.

I'm assuming the heads have a single spring considering the 454/268 currently in it. Just keep in mind that the guide bosses will have to be worked for the dual springs required for any cam in the range you're looking at now.
