What a POS

Yeah the cam is really weak....i wish i had seen this combo before you went through the trouble of putting it together. When you call cam places, either 1) they just give you a "safe" cam to keep them from being reliable, or they just don't give a damn and give you whatever. When you call a cam grinder like Ed Curtis or Jay Allen, they're going to make you a cam that shoots to make the max power and torque possible...like the bleeding edge of what you can get away with (unless you specify otherwise).

An example...my buddy's 347...he called Ed to get his opinion of a cam and he told him the car was 99% street car/toy and might see the track once or twice. With that i expected a pretty mild cam...he got a split lift that's .624/.584, duration that's 236/242 @ .050 and 111 lobe separation. This thing lopes so hard it rocks the car at idle. I would love to hear what he would've gave him for a straight up race cam.

The cam you have now, the lift isn't all that bad for a mild 302...the split lift favoring the exhaust is a good thing, but there's not nearly enough lift to feed 360ci and those 185's, and the duration is extremely weak. My duration @ .050 is 240/248.

Bottom line, one it was a Mustang dyno so you know you left a little on the table compared to a Dynojet. Two, that cam is way too small for a 302 let alone a 360.

What was the HP goal here??? Everyones right about the cam...But eeh Some AFR 205's would also help. You would benefit from the 2.08 valves and larger runners. You want to be making almost 300cfm at .500 lift. But then again you want a cam thats near .600 to fully take advantage of that. With that said the 75mm TB is kinda smallish for a 351+ motor. And to take full advantage of the exhaust you need something like 1 7/8 headers.

If you put Performance 302 parts on a 351 you can expect 302 HP. I realized that with my combo and am going threw the same issues. i made 265hp @ 4000 RPM and 497.3 TQ @ 2000 RPM. Ed Curtis recommends that i get an AFR 205 or 225 on my 383. He said that with the bigger head and the right cam i should have a streetable 525-550hp motor that will keep revs under 6500.

You aren't making HP over mid 4000 RPM....A bigger cam will get more air in there...but bigger heads and a 90mm TB will help too. On that i would get something with a lift of no less than .580. 351+ blocks like AIR and lots of it.

AFR 185 flows 267CFM on intake at .500 And never hits 300 CFM
Perfect for a 302-331...I almost wouldn't put those on a 347.

Remember this is CFM is per port
AFR 205 flows 291CFM on intake at .500 and is at 301 CFM by .550 lift

Whats this mean?
Well the difference per port at .500 CFM is 24CFM Multiply that by 8 and get a total of 192 CFM more on the entire engine.

Remember the 185 hits a peak of 277CFM @ .600 lift which you are nowhere near with a cam that lifts around .500

The 205 makes a peak of 310CFM @ .700 lift.

And the only reason it still flows at a higher lift is because Intake Valves on the 185 is 2.02 and the 205/225 has a 2.08 valve.


So in short get some AFR 205's and a cam with a lift near .600 and a 90mm intake/TB and you should see numbers damn near 500HP.

I not only agree with everyone on here, but will also vouch for the tuner. Best there is. Period.
