Hey guys i was wondering if i could get your advice would this be a good camshaft to put in a high horsepower 302 daily driver. I was also wondering if this was mechanical or hydraulic http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/2122/10002/-1?parentProductId=749092
to get the best cam advise you need to give alot more info on your car. like specs on the heads what intake what exhast what transmission and stall speed of the conveter if its an auto. what rear gear ratio what rear tire size what wieght is the car.
idk i mean like i plan on the future for it to have in the 300s in horsepower but my plans are for it to be my daily driver hot rod
That cam is a hydraulic cam, I don't know that Edelbrock even makes a solid cam. If you want to make that kind of power I would go with one of Edelbrocks packages. They give good power with drivability and are designed to work together.
i perfer comp cams i am looking into the thumpr series cams i heard one in a sbf before and it sounds amazing http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stor...all&Jnar=0&Ne=1+2+3+1147708&searchTerm=thumpa
I was wondering what do you think was the cause of the major power decreases in the 70s 302s compared to the 60s i mean i know they changed how they rate power but they were much slower
Compression Ratio, also they needed to pass emissions standards. All that early EGR crap robbed horsepower. the emission stuff on cars today is much better and you can have the best of both worlds. Power and clean emissions
yeah that is why i am wanting to change the cam and the heads im still contemplating on 1967 289 heads or 1973 truck 302 heads
Look for some e7 heads or gt40s, not the gt40Ps. Good flowing cast iron heads, and can be got for cheap. e7s go for 50-100 a pair, gt40s for 150-300 a pair. I am running gt40 heads and getting about 330 hp. Plenty quick in our small and light cars, but I still drive it all over the roads and highways.
