Alright guys I've been posting alot lately about my combo but you guys havent seemed to be responding and this time I really need your guys opinions. My motor is a 306 with new crank and rods, speed pro forged pistons, 10:5 compression, afr 165's, performer intake, 70mm t/b, 76 mass air, supporting fuel mods, 3:73s, full exhaust and suspension. My question is that I have a trickflow stage 2 cam, what would benefit me the most for a street driven car, my tf cam advanced 4* vs AFM N-61 cam vs comp XE274E? Please guys help me out on this as I am begining to build my motor up.

I'm sure this has been told to you before but how about invest just a bit more ($100-$150) and get a custom cam that will be made for your car.

Good Luck...sorry I didn't have much to offer.

I know I've been told over and over about the custom cam but thats just it, its custom. Eventually I would like a blower and then my cam would be useless and I would be at step 1 again.

Yeah but the cam you put in now will be "useless" as well...and Ed Curtis (for example) offers a core swap with your old cam from him to a new for $150 bucks

Well no not true. Mike Thumper told me the trickflow cam is a great blower cam.

Yes, but a custom cam will be better in every other way. Street manners/performance.

Jesus that's a lot of compression to be running a blower......I hope you're not going over 5-6 psi.

Guy I bought it from was running 10:1 comp with 12lbs of boost from a novi 2000. Oil pressure is at 60 and everything is fine.

Youa sked for opinions so heres mine. Out of those 3 camshafts i'd run the afm n-61. That cam will make some nice power. Rick 91GT ran in with his holley combo and trapped in the 115 ish range.

Have fun trying to tune that much compression and boost. Im sure it can be done but not by someone with out much experience.
