Okey doke... need to get me a cam for my 302 (with 351W heads)... I see people mentioning, "a good mild cam"... or "hard cam" or something to that effect... What woud that equate to exactly? Numbers wise?
I have the opportunity to get a 280-290 Duration, 479-496 Lift Lunati Cam. Supposedly this is as much as it can be without putting the valves into the pistons on their upstroke... so I'm told... Would this be classified as a racing cam?
I'm looking for a cam that gives me decent milage, good HP and torque... It'll be put in a daily driver (to work and back) maybe the occasional road trip. Not driven in winters... only Spring (after snow gone), Summer, Fall, etc...
Just wondering... This cam also comes with the springs and cam lifters, and the lifters are matched to the lobes. I made sure that was checked... no retainers though... all this for $60. How does that sound?
