Good Cam for 318

The “no matter what certain to make a performance improvement in a high geared low compression 318.” Works well with any of the 318 port intakes.

So to clarify, cars that what people generally call soft down low is from improper tuning? would make sense cause even a big cam low cr engines makes many times more than enough power down low to drive a car.

As for what your saying about torque would be like, If you take pushing your car as an example torque is like the force of you pushing, rpm is like the steps you take, power is both combined, and the more steps a second, quicker you go.

I think you are confusing two aspects of this and it starts with what YR is saying and how others are just simply wondering about a low dyno pull rpm test in addition to cam size, and I note see engine usage.

YR is correct in his words but the thinking means more to a race engine while others are wondering what a more mello engine is doing. The only time a below 2500 rpm pull that I could see as useful for s with a very small cam and/or the intended gear ratio that would be very numerically high needing a WOT application below 2500.

There is no doubt that a WOT below 2500 is done with mechanical secondary carbs on street rides, but not really done in heavy hitting street strip/race rides.
