The choice of cam will depend on many variables. Some of the variables will be:
1. are heads ported, milled, stock size valves, rocker ratio ?
2. rear gear ratio ?
3. transmission type ?, if auto, any stall?
4. what intake ?
5. how is bottom end built?...can the engine live at higher rpm ?
6. exhaust header and pipe diameter
7. is vacuum level important? is vehicle ever driven on street, does it need power breaks?
8. do you want to run on pump gas?
.
I think it is tough to give a cam recommendation without knowing all the variables. You might to read up a little on some of the Pontaic experts philsophy on camshaft selection and general guidelines. I like HO Racing's literature. Their advice is solid. I also like Jim Hand's book and
his excellent discussions on cam variables and selection. Finally, there is some fantasic discussions here in past posts on camshaft selection for different variables. Search for old posts and you will have tons of information.
