Help me decide on a cam

Burn'nRubber · March 20th, 2008, 05:00 PM

Today I took my gt40p's to a reputable machine shop to be checked, thermal cleaned, and a valve job. I plan on having these heads ported and polished, milled, springs, etc after I decide on a camshaft. The owner is supposed to call me in the next few days to discuss possible cam grinds, but I figured I would get your opinions as well

. I am looking for close to 300whp, but peak hp isnt as important to me as a nice torque curve as its mainly a street car. Id also like to have a nice lopey idle, without sacrificing driveability.

One of his machinists recommended a cam from comps xtreme energy line. I told him to write down the specs. Would this cam be a good choice for my combination?
*Duration @ .050 224/232
*Lift .555/.565

Thanks

Few people can tell you better than a cam company itself. Give them a call and tell them your setup and where you want your power, and see what they recommend.
