Camshaft Questions



I am in the process of getting a 350 for my 1972 C20. I was thinking about installing a camshaft..I do not want to get crazy horsepower that I cannot use the truck on the street. How much HP do you get from a Cam. I like the sounds that they produce, what is the best cam to get for street use, and is there a lot to do before on is installed??

give as much about the engine combo that you can and about the truck, then we can help you pick a cam

a cam is supposed to work with your engine combo so it needs to be matched

Re: Camshaft Questions

call cam company tech lines with loads of info about your vehicle and tell them what you're looking for
