Re: Performer RPM ?

Just to throw in my two cents.

I have a 78 305.It's .030 with stock type replacement pistons.(Guy built it and didn't like how it ran.Built a new engine and sold me this one.(882s +stock cam=sucks.

Now the engine has Pro ported 461 heads,The lunati bracket master cam 2 that you just listed,Performer RPM,HEI,hedman 1 5/8 headers,1406 carb,

The truck is a 69 longbed with a 3 speed on the column with a 3:73 rear.

This truck runs really good!

I also ran this exact same cam along with the intake and headers on a 350.Torque out the wazzoo.

I think it is an exellent cam.Idles are 750RPM's with a slight lope.You can tell its not stock.I have also ran a comp 270h.And it sounded more like a race cam.But it didn't make power till around 2500RPM.

I would use the cam you have.Swapping a cam out isn't that hard to do.No reason to not use it.I know the edelbrock markets their cam and intake as a combo.Which it is.But if put it togother with the wrong engine.(Low compression)It won't run as good as if the proper cam was used.

What I'm trying to say is just try it out!You'll like it.
