Hi there,
AS my moniker says, I am a newbee to this. I am doing a minor rebuild of my 302 (rings, valves, etc.). Due to veeerrryyy limited funds I was wondering about a noteworthy increase in performance with a cam. I don't want to have to change valving, etc. due to lift but was wondering what cam could I put in my stock 302 that would be inexpensive. This is a daily driver.
Thanks for any help.

keep the stock one and advance it to lower your power band
