Well I'm in the process of building my 331 stroker. I'm thinking about running 1.7 rockers.. what cam should I got with? I know about the custom cam, but what other cams could I go with? I will be running AFR 185 Heads, Cobra Upper Lower, long tubes, 70 throttle body, 75 maf (those will change after cash comes in) My car is a street/strip driven car also, can't be too lumpy
Thanks alot
Any suggestions would be great

Keep in mind, the off the shelf stuff out there is designed for 302 cubes. The same cam in 331 cubes is going to act like a 'milder' cam in a 331. Said another way, there's not really anything you can buy out there that's designed with that engine/package in mind. You've got real potential with the 331, afr 185's. I think it would be unwise not to invest a few $ more, and get a professional to help you with your cam selection. Your rocker ratio should be made at the same time cam is selected; with the lift 'designed' into the custom, you can use 1.6's and maintain better valve train geometry. Only one reasonable approach in my opinion - contact Buddy or Ed and let them model that set up. ESPECIALLY for a street car that you want reasonable driving manners with.
