If you want low end torque, then a 318 is probably not for you. Even if it's built to maximize the low end , it's not going to have much . It's simply too small. But then my daily drivers for most of my life have been big blocks. Anyways... I think we have gotten a little off course with this thread. I thought this was " Cams for 318s ". I'm hoping to read some more real world quantified results like elapsed times and dyno pulls. A lot of the responses so far have been speculations and personal preferences and seat-o-the-pants. Gimme some numbers dammit!!!:)
