Stock Cam Question

For a fun city car for myself, what I have done is;
I would run your stash except;
I would:
>use the stock cam, with 5500rpm springs, and
forgo the MSD, which is not required for this powerlevel, and forgo the long-tubes, but yes on the dual exhaust,
>and install a 2800 convertor, and
>a starter gear in the zone of 8.5>9.5 to one,
which could be any one of the following;
a) the factory A904/2.45 low,
plus 3.55s =8.70 starter, and 2600= 57mph@3%slip
b) an A998/2.74 low gear,
plus 3.23s =8.85 starter, and 2600= 63mph@3%slip
c) an A999/2.74 low, with a loc-up,
plus 3.23s =8.85 starter, and 2600= 65mph in LU
>all calcs for 27"tires)
Oh,I see you already got the MSD and headers; oh well ______________________________________________
For me;
By far, the 2800 was the best bolt-on, and gears was next best, then the 4bbl dual-exhaust.
Headers with the stock cam are optional.
With the factory Scr unchanged or as good as, I would NOT be in a hurry to up-cam.
_______________________________________________
if I ever do it again;
I am installing an overdrive, and more lower gears, my 318 loved 4.30s! (starter gear of 10.54)
Ima thinking A500/2.74 low,
Plus 3.73s =10.22 starter, and 65mph= 2080 in LU.
BadaBoom!
With this combo I would up-cam a tad and run more ScR; the reason being to run out of Second gear at 60ish mph.
That A518/3.73 combo will hit 65 at 5100@10% slip @WOT in Second gear. so Ima thinking to cam for peak power at 4800(61mph), which looks to be a cam of [email protected]. and, I'm going with Solid lifters next time.
Oh, and;
