Wondering what you guys suggest (camshaft) for a newly rebuilt 302 roller block with Trick flow 170 heads. Not a daily driver. Don't mind aggressive idle, car has 5 speed and 3.73s. GT40 extrude honed intake. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

custom Ed Curtis cam. for about 30-40 bucks more you will get a cam designed for your car and produce more power than any off the shelf cam.
