Cam for 400
I'm doing a little work to my 400 small block. I'm going to put an edelbrock performer intake on it. I'm debating on what cam to use. I'm thinking one of these two:
Comp Cam
Operating Range: 1300-5600 RPM
Duration Advertised: 262° Intake / 270° Exhaust
Duration @ .050'' Lift: 218° Intake / 224° Exhaust
Valve Lift w/1.5 Rockers: .462'' Intake / .469'' Exhaust
Lobe Separation Angle: 110°
or
Comp Cam
Operating Range: 1600-5800 RPM
Duration Advertised: 268° Intake / 280° Exhaust
Duration @ .050'' Lift: 224° Intake / 230° Exhaust
Valve Lift w/1.5 Rockers: .477'' Intake / .480'' Exhaust
Lobe Separation Angle: 110°
A friend of mine that is a mechanic and professional truck puller suggested I go with the first option since i'm running an auto tranny, but I've got a 400 turbo tranny for it. What do you guys think? they're both the comp extreme energy cam. I'm not trying to build 400 horse, I just wanted to build it up a little over stock since I've got the engine on the stand.
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
