Re: identifying 307,327,350?

Yup... all sound... they are ground that way. There are waaaayyyyy better cams out there.

Look into the Lunati Voodoo series or Comp XE series.

Re: identifying 307,327,350?



Yep, thumper is all bark and no bite. Can't go wrong with a Lunati Voodo. The Comp XE is good too. Just get the right profile that will give you some lope if that's what you want. Use the Comp website or ask around here what cams others use.

Re: identifying 307,327,350?

Call the cam companies. Tell them what you have and what you want to do. What you think is "streetable" and what I think is "streetable" isn't even going to come close.

Re: identifying 307,327,350?

It depends if its going into a bel air I would rather have a cam to give me a little more bottom end rather then higher top end unless this is going to be a drag car 3896929 is the crane number for the 300hp 327 cam. always a good choice IMO for a street driven car.

Re: identifying 307,327,350?

big cams arent fast.. especially with vortec heads.. use a 60102 at most and a shim.

Re: identifying 307,327,350?

I'm not a big fan of Vortec heads... but if you're lookin' for a mild street build with a cam that has under .470 lift they are pretty darn good. Just remember you will need a special intake to bolt to Vortec heads.
