Cam for stock 318
I've got a stock 318 with a dual plane intake an edel 600 carb. It's got 302 heads, so I guess the compression is around 9 to 1. The stock cam is really weak. I want something that will wake the motor up without me having to replace the lifters and the springs. Any suggestions?
Your current Camshaft {if Stock} is probably >
Lift .......... .373" / .400"
Duration ... 240* / 248*
If you want to swap out the Camshaft, and 'not' change the Lifters or Valve-Springs,
you sure as Hell don't want to spend any good bucks for a Camshaft.
You will probably end up 'wiping' the Lobes within 5000 Miles with
pattern-worn Lifters.
As
'YY-1' stated, the Summit SUM-6900 is the best bet.
