Finally decided to break down and buy a new cam, recommendations?

[Great68]

I decided out with the old, and in with something that I know the specs on and will be compatible with my new parts and what I want the car for.

Any recommendations? My mods are in the sig. I use my car 99% for the street, and would rarely take it to the track. I would like something that works with a stock or mild stall converter and 2.80-3.25 gears (no higher numerically than 3.25).

Thanks,
Bryan

the comp cams he268h, the edelbrock performer rpm, and what ever similar cam from crane.

Agree with above. I can't believe you were running a Demon and AFR heads with a stock cam. You should see a HUGE improvement!

I aggree the 268H is a good all around mild cam from them I believe there is a older stang on www.exhaustsoundclips.com with that same cam and a similiar setup to yours

I'm partial to the Xtreme Energy series by Comp Cams.

Wow, that 268h sounds almost lumpier than what I have in the car now!

I like it.

xe266 cam from compcams. Perfect combo

 

[Great68]

I called comp cams and they recommended the XE262H,

Duration: intake: 218, exhaust: 225 @ 0.050"

lift: intake: .493, exhaust: .500

110 degree lsa.

opinions?

i still stand firm on the xe266H.

That cam works BEAUTIFULLY with AFR165 heads

How does the 266 work with a high rear ratio and stock converter?

I can't find specs on it on the comp website, it goes from xe262 to xe268.

All I need is a confirmation that it will work, and I will buy a 266.

The 266 cam might be for a hydraulic roller, but im sure you can order it as a non roller setup. The specs are aggressive, but not TOO aggressive in anyway. It will work fine with the rear gears and stock converter. If you cant get that cam in a non roller version, I would definetly go with the 268. I can see you freeing up 30+ hp with this cam swap. You will feel a seat in your pants difference in power!

Thanks so much for the help. I'm hoping this will be the final piece of the puzzle.
