I am building a 360 for my 67 barracuda and was wondering what cam grind people are happy with? I know this depends what you are looking for in the car,Iam wanting a mild street machine. The motor will be 9.5 -1 and 2.02 valves and crane 1.5 rockers. I was looking at a lunati voodoo cam with 268/276 dur. and 494/513 lift. Curoius what stall would be best??
 
When I'm looking at a cam, I allready know a few things about what the car has or what it will need. Since cams perform in a certain RPM range, which is goverened by the duration and to an extenet, style of tappet, I can select a cam this way to fit into what I have.

The rest of the package, the cars details will zero in on what I need within a few degress of duration. Outside that window there can be compromizez in mileage, driveabilty or power & performance.

The rest of the info would be among style of driving or what you would want out of the car would be;

Weight
trans
stall converter or not
(In which I have no clue for you, sorry, 4spd guy really.)
axle ratio
tire size

What these are and will become effect cam choice or the cam choice will effect the above to a lighter state in search of more power/performance.
 
Like was said... Power brakes? head type? rear axle gearing? Intake? Carb? Exh manifolding and exh system? What will this car be doing 80% of it's time? The other 20%?
