The camshaft is only one part of the combination. I’m going to ask you a small slew of questions that we all need to know the answers to for any type of cam recommendation.

Otherwise, you’ll get answers like, “Use a .750 roller cam with 1.6 rockers.”

What is your;

Cars weight
Trans
Is a upgraded converter to be used
Gear ratio
Rear end size
Tires size to be used
What are you expecting/wanting from this
The cars primary purpose
The percentages of street driven and strip driven
(Example; 90% street - 10% strip.)

Engine compression ratio
Pistons used
Hp sought after
Mileage sought after
Idle quality sought
Cheap, moderately cheap or expensive camshafts
(Hyd./solid/roller)

Any other modifications?

Carb
Intake
Ignition
Headers
Upgraded valve size
Ported heads

If you can’t answer even some of these, your question is a loaded gun and it OS going off. Then the best recommendation I can give is the joking one above.

The biggest cam you can put in a 318 is one with 300 duration @ .050 & .850 lift on a solid roller cam. It operates between 5500 & 9,000 rpm for r higher depending on other modifications.
