RE: Cam selection
I used the RPM for a few years, it was a good cam, but remember, if your bolting on the heads, they have a 60cc chamber, so your gonna lose compression.I actually lost a bit of HP when i put them on. I was making 305 RWHP with stock heads,Comp 270 cam. I put on the RPM heads and cam and went down to about 230 HP, same manifold and carb.

RE: Cam selection
The RPM cam does not have all the specs I'm looking for.. The Comp Cam 262 will give me the best of both worlds, even the guy at Edelbrock told me it was a better choice over the RPM cam.

why not just get the RPM cam???Also i would get at least a 600 CFM carb.
