Hello
I need help picking out a good cam for my 1977 Corvette. Here's my specs: original 350 engine (rebuilt) Edelbrock 600cfm performer Edelbrock Performer manifold Lunati VooDoo 60101 (1000-5500, 213/219 @.050, .454/.468 lift) Brodix IK180 64cc heads w/ 1.5 roller rockers 2.5" dual exhaust w/ flowmaster 40s 3.55 rear gears (auto trans)
The motor has stock crank, pistons & rods, so I can't rev higher than 5500.
I was looking at getting a 2500 stall converter and possibly this cam: Comp Cams 282s: 2,000-6,000; 236/236 @.050; .495/.495 lift; 110 lobe sep - Solid Lifter Cam
What do you think? Any ideas on a cam? Thanks

To want more cam like your example you'll have to also need more carb, higher rpm intake ,springs and retainers,check valve guide clearance and 3:73 gear with your 2500 stall.After lash clearance it's about a 225 @.050.I think your existing combo is good,look into other ways to more power. WIEDER

I was thinking about getting an Edel Perf RPM and a 750 carb, so that would work well. My springs are good to .525 lift so I'm good there. The only thing is the gears, 3.55. I already have headers - just trying to think of any other way to improve without doing a complete engine rebuild/upgrade. Thanks
