Cam Choice Time
- By limp
I went through this a couple of years ago.....
My first time doing a 302 so all of this was new to me. Member 5L5 suggested this video to me and it really helped with picking the correct cam for what I wanted to use it for, and what heads worked best with what dynamics each cam offered...
I understand from a pure racing standpoint this video is a bit basic, but for what most of us are doing it made sense to me..
Remember that its a " package" your assembling here.. Everything has to work together and then it needs to work for " what you are using your car for"..
Ended up with a TF stage 1 as it seemed to be a good match to the " P " heads I am using besides I must of stumbled on a christmas sale at the time, I think I paid $218 for a brand new cam...
I did look at Cam prices the other day... SHEEEEEET, just like everything else have they gone up in price... I think a custom cam from FTI was $350 when I was buying.......
Here is the 5L5 recommended video... Enjoy
