318LA build
i think the eddy performer 2177 would be a great mild cam for a 318 with stock (low-ish) compression. a little less aggressive than a stock 340 cam. the thing i don't like is that it's a single pattern cam. however, for the money i think a melling 360 stock cam or a summit white box is a better buy.
their performer plus is a little aggressive for a 318 unless you've got heads to support it and some compression, stall and a little bit of gear. .488/.518 234/244 @50
without knowing all the details i'd say off the cuff: below .450 lift, under 215~220 duration and keep the lsa at or under 112 and split pattern.
