Im gonna be buying a cam in the next few days, but i really have no idea what would be best for my setup maybe you guys can help me out...
the car is a 1972 LeMans with a 400 and th350 behind it. the engine had obviously been rebuilt before i got it and from the casting numbers i know it is a late 70's block i think it was 76 or 78 (6x heads), i can say for sure but i believe it has a higher conpression ratio than those engines did stock. maybe the pistons were swaped for performance pistons and/or the heads were milled im not sure but it runs pretty strong already...up to 5k. it has 6x heads on it, headers, a 750 holly and an edelbrock performer intake (which i will be swaping for a performer RPM along with the cam). my problem is that my engine runs out of steam right at 5k, i dont mind lope at all (actually i would like some) and im looking for a nasty street car, this vehicle will see about 90% street and 10% track but i want as much as i can possibly get out of it and reasonably expect to drive it on the street.

oh yea ive also heard really good things about rhoads lifters...increasing low end torque and vaccum with radical cams, whats your take?

thanks guys
