I agree with WCWhitey about not going overboard with the cam, but don't chicken out either!

Like I said in my first post, the 350 that was originally in the '71 had the Wolverine/Blue Racer version of the 204/214 cam, and it ran a best of 15.02 with a stock convertor, a peg-leg rear with 3.23s and street tires.

My '69 has the HO Racing HC-02a (HC-01a???) cam that specs out to 280/290 214/224 (@.050) .443/.465 lift. It has run a best of 14.60s with again a stock convertor and a peg-leg 2.88 rear. If I put any type of aftermarket convertor and my 3.23 rear in that car, it would go deep into the 14's. The power brakes work just fine too.

Last thing. I've run a Holley 600 w/elec choke and vac sec on both 350s, and in the case of the '71, have done so for 16 years at least. I have a Q-Jet on the 462 that is now in the '71. This is the first Q-Jet I've run on any car. I can honestly say that IMHO the Q-Jet is probably a better carb for the 350 because of the smaller primaries.
