looking for cam

Looking for a good nitrous cam for a bbc. Trying to get the car in the 8 second range

David,

I would imagine that folks are going to want to know what combination you are running. Im in the same boat here. I think that I have figured out what I am going to run, the question is what cam to put into it.

460 BBC (if I can get away with .030, if not 468)
AFR 305 Heads
~12:1 CR
3500 Lb race weight,
3000 RPM converter on the foot brake (no trans break)
TH400
4.10 gear
32x14 Tire
Victor Jr. Intake Manifold
cross bar plate @ 200 for starters (max 300 shot)

Im looking for a solid flat tappet, a roller is not in the budget.

David, Hope I did not hi-jack your thread :oops:

I've had good luck with REED CAMS. Call Dennis and see what he recommends.
