SemperFIGOD said:Thanks.
Would anybody have an estimate of my Dyno numbers and 1/4 mile time
Or just go to the track and pay $10 and see what it really runs.criticman said:My advice: Buy a G-Tech Pro...you'll get that info and more.
Do an eBay search for them...you can get them new for around $50 (retails for $130ish).

SemperFIGOD said:I have Stock Gears.
But find my self in bliss not knowing what to do next the exhaust or my rear end.
I guess that is also a good question. What would benefit me more the exhaust or the rear end?
To answer your original question, if I had to put my money down in a race, as much as I hate to say it I think I would put my dime on any of the aforementioned ricers. Not trying to dog at all, just constructive critisism. Your combo is about as unbalanced as you can get. You have a huge cam and carb that probably doesnt come on til like 4k and your running highway gears and exhaust that peters out before the motor can start making any real power. I would say gear (and alot of it) as your next mod. Then exhaust, and I would be willing to bet that it would run quite a bit better with a 650 and less cam as well.SemperFIGOD said:I have Stock Gears.

The only thing that I think would help, and I stress help, is the gear and exhaust. And I mean alot of gear, probably more than a 4:10. Seriously though, you will spend more time and money trying to make that cam work than if you just swapped it out. I guarantee you would be happier in the long run. I mean your going to have to run so much gear that it wont be much fun for the street, and your powerband is going to be so high that you will really be pushing the limits of that stock bottom end anyway. What compression do they reccomend with that cam? I would bet more than stock. Why are you so attached to that cam? Is it the sound? You can get that big cam sound with a much more civilized cam that will be a better match for the rest of the car. If its a money issue, throw the stock one back it there, I bet you would be surprised. I speak from experience here. Back in my younger days I used to think that I could just buy the biggest baddest cam out ther, throw it in and have the most wickid fast best sounding rod around. What I usually ended up with was a pig that wouldnt idle in gear, would load up at a stop light, would eat spark plugs weakly, had no power brakes and just plan ran like dog ****. And I didnt learn the first time either, I made the same mistake more than once. I got really good at cam swaps let me tell ya.SemperFIGOD said:What do you suggest I can do to balance my combination without replacing the carb or cam?

How fast do you want to spin the motor? Figure that out and it will be easier to pick a combo that makes power where you want it. It doesnt do much good to have heads cam and intake that make the most power from 4500 to 7500 if you have a shortblock that is only capable of turning 6k. Going to a single plane intake will probably just make you loose more low end, I would stick with the one you have. I have heard alot of good things about the trick flow stage 1 but Im sure there are alot of guys on here that could do a better job of recomending a specific cam than me. One thing you can do is to get on the horn with a few different cam manufactures and tell them your combo, what gear you want to run etc and see what the recommend.SemperFIGOD said:So What Cam do you suggest? keepin in mind that I will go with the 4.10 gears.
Oh and yeah I do love the sound that the cam gives out.
----One more question will changing my intake help me ?-----
-----------I currently have the Edekbrock Air Gap RPM Intake.
----Would a single plane inkae help?
----------Would supercharging the engine be beneficial b/c it is something that I tought about?
