Getting a cam

RE: Getting a cam
The cam should be one of the last items considered when building your engine. You need to keep in mind the pistons and heads when determining your cam choice, especially the heads. Then the manifold should be picked out to perform best with the cam. Bottom end or top end power band on the cam? I'm sure with your set up you shouldn't need anything bigger than a 600 cfm carb. If you work at a speed shop they may have a dyno program on disk that you can play with to get the optimal and most efficient power for your engine.

RE: Getting a cam
well first it seems to me you need to fiqure out what you have and what you'll be buying as with what will be the primary use of car?....just the intakes you stated 1 is a daul plane and the other isn't...remember when choosing a cam smaller is better....I'd look at a cam cut on a 110 centerline to rev quickly and run out around 6250
