Thread: 283 cam advice

Tweet

Need some help.I have a stock 283 with I think power pack heads cstng 3884520 60cc with 1.72 &1.5 valves.They are getting hardened seats put in them.I am running an alum. intake and a 4barrel quadrojet with a 350 turbo.This is going in my 32 three window coupe,the weight will be aprox 2600 lbs,278 gear.OK so I need some advice on a cam.I want to keep the power in the low end maybe with just a little bit of thump,but I don't want to have to worry about it pushing me thru the stop light at idle.Would like to use something from speed pro.So needs some specs.Thanks Mike (ps will be running hei with high output coil)

OK I will go with the low end torque

comp cams 280 h worked great for me. my 283 was bored .125 over was a good alla round cam drag racing and street. may i suggest at least 355 gears
