282 is huge on a little, low compression 318. It will utterly kill the dynamic compression ratio and, with it, the bottom end (and probably mid-range!)

Go smaller, much smaller. Hughes Whiplash 318 cam HMC1326AL-9 looks like it could be what you're looking for.

I would contact Hughes and ask what they recommend. http://www.hughesengines.com/Index/index.php

Tried and true, and easy on the valvetrain....

Comp 260........
ISKY260......

The Hughes cam has too much lift for the stock springs and heads.
Hughes will also trying to sell you a cam with a longer EX duration for small port heads, no reason to have it, unless you like giving up low end torque for a couple hundred RPM up top. (not advisable in a 318 power truck)

If your looking for lope, have ISKY narrow the lobe sep to 106 or 104. They grind me cams all the time like that, for 150-175$. Remember, a motor that has power sounds a hell of a lot better than a motor you're trying to make sound like it has power.

well it's all coming in due time, the cam is just the easier part and cheapest part to make power

This is the one I run in my teen, it works well. You will have to change out the springs and such.

Keep in mind that when you change cams, then you have the gearing dilemma. I put this cam in and ran it last year with a 2.76 open. This year I upgraded to an 8 3/4 with 3.55 sure grip and it made a world of difference.

The summit brand smaller cam with a set of 901-16 springs would work fine and is cheap too.
