I am thinking about changing cams in my strictly strip cleveland and was wanting a few opinions on which would work best. I already have 3 cams, 2 of which are new, plus the one I was running at the end of last year. The reason I am thinking about switching(besides the never ending quest for more HP), is I am serioulsy considering putting a powerglide in my car and want to fatten the torque band up just a bit. The motor is .030 over, stock rods, stock stroke, 12-1 compression, ported 4v heads, Holley strip dominator intake, 1 7/8" primary 3.5" collector hooker headers, 920 cfm alchy carb.
The cam I was running at the end of last year that ran 9.97 @ 133 mph was a Crower solid (as are the other 2 I have) with 266 int, 277 exh @ .050, 103 centerline, 107 lsa, .628/.625 lift installed straight up.
The cam I am thinking about using is also a solid Crower, 270 int, 282 exh @ .050, 104 center, 108 lsa, .644/.654 lift and was thinking about installing it 4 degrees advanced.
The other I have that I feel is too small, is a solid Crower, 262 int, 265 exh @ .050, 108 center, 112 lsa, .640/.647 lift.
I currently shift at 7500 with my c4, using a 6400 convertor. Was figuring my 'glide convertor would still be around 62-6400, and would still like to shift it around 7400 or so.
Since the motor is all apart all I would need to buy would be lifters to change cams. Should I change it, or just leave it alone?
Thanks (sorry it got so long winded)
