Very mild 318 - Comp 252H vs 340 cam?

Tylinol said
Hi everyone. I'm on that magical phase where I'm trying to pick a cam for my '69 318. Specs are as follows:

-675 heads, stock (albeit with a 3-angle valve job and some other rebuild work)
-block bored 40 over
-stock crank and rods
-KB 167 pistons yielding a calculated 8.94:1 CR
-stock manifolds with a 2.25" TTI exhaust
-Edelbrock 500cfm Performer carb
-4bbl manifold yet to be purchased (probably a Performer as well)
-manual brakes with factory AC

This car will be my daily driver, so I want good idle and vacuum but hopefully with enough cam to take advantage of some of my upgrades over the stock 2bbl setup and single exhaust. It would seem like the Comp 252H would fit the bill, and I've also heard the 340 cam referenced as a good choice for a mild 318.

Torque is priority over RPM; most of my driving is around town anyway (although I am planning on a ~350 mile road trip this November).

I ran a Comp 252 in my stock 318 1970 Duster many years ago and it had a dead stock idle and excellent low end torque with stock size tires and 2.76 gearing. The trans was a 904 with stock torque converter. Used an Edelbrock Performer manifold and Holley 600CFM carb. No head porting or distributor mods, just a fresh valve job. I swapped between the Holley and a Thermoquad 800CFM to see which got me the best mileage. The TQ had a bit better off the line response but similar mileage. Best mileage was driving 55 MPH from San Antonio TX to Joplin MO, and got 23.5 MPG. That was our family car for many years and always delivered excellent service. You won't go wrong with the 252 if you are looking for excellent throttle response and mileage in a daily driver.
