I need help choosing a cam for my engine since I have little to no knowledge about them.

What im looking for is the engine to be a weekend/good day - drag/driver/fun

my setup so far:

-M22 trans.
~455bb bored .030
-E heads - Exhaust 1.624; Intake 2.063
-Pistons - ICON UEM-IC886KTD-030
-Stock "N" Crank

"subject to change" still to get setups:

-Edelbrock 2151 Intake

 

Flat tappet or roller, I do both.

 

flat tappet

 

Headers?
Gear?
Desired performance/idle?

Thanks.

 

you'll have to clarify for me this is my first build,

I will be going with headers if that's what your asking.

Are you talking about the trans gear, or rear end?

I'm basically trying to get it 400hp and up, not sure what a good idle rpm would be for street/drag.

as you can see im clueless

 

Yes, rear gear.
Good, you stated your hp goals.

I'd do an Erson TQ50 hyd flat tappet cam. 228/235@.050 with .504 lift on both. That would give you a noticeable idle, great midrange power and work well with either the stock or aftermarket valvetrain.

Let me know if I can help. Thanks

 

I miss the JB100 I had.....can you sat TORQUE monster?

 

Rear gears are 3 73s

 

Erson TQ50.

Jmo.

 

I sent you a PM not sure if you got it

 

Yes, yours and Randy's both. Pm'd you back.
