Another “which camshaft” post

67 Barracuda conv., currently ‘77 360/4bbl. 68 exhaust manifolds w/ 2 1/2” exhaust, 4spd 3.23 sure grip. Basically just a street cruiser but just want to bump it up a bit. I have the motor out to refresh the engine comp. and regasket the motor. While out I’m going to install a six pack and thinking of a cam upgrade. The 68 340 4spd cam from Oregon #2120 specs
221/227@ .050 276/286 advertised .438/.456 lift 114sep. Or this stage 3 came from Jamsi.
Dodge Chrysler Mopar V8 Stage 3 Camshaft & Lifters Kit 318 340 360 MC3203. 214/224 @ .050 288/298 adv. .433/.466 lift. 108/116 sep..
they’re pretty close, the 340 cam has a bit more duration and the stage 3 has more of a split and a touch more lift. What are your thought on power production differences?
Thanks

My thoughts on power production are not to touch ether cam.
As an example still using a cam not up to today’s specs but still isn’t a bad cam IF you could actually find one is the upgraded 340 Purple cam with the same advertised specs and nearly identical lifts on a 110.

Add the 6 pack and a good header (not the typical 1-5/8) with a thought out exhaust and you’ll soar north of 380 hp on a crap tune and be 100% streetable with a excellent torque curve. Combined with the 3.55’s, it’ll be a hoot to drive.

Get the right cam in there and you’ll add a good 20ft. Lbs. to the torque curve all over the low and mid section.
