What about this cam
I was concidering a crane blazer cam 4041
It's a 218 intake duration, and 228 exhaust duration cam.
I was concidering putting this cam in with a edelbrock performer intake. I am using this for my tow vehicle to tow a 12ft enclosed trailer with a 3.92 rear end. I was concidering this cam over the matched performer cam, because I already have it, but will pony up the $130 for the edelbrock cam.
I simply need a solid dependable motor to tow with.

One thing to remember when installing a cam in a engine to tow is to make sure it is in the power range. That cam will work if you plan on towing around 3000+ rpm. Also if you plan other mods, put these into the equation before you final decision. And for torque while towing you need to keep your vacumn or a small duration cam. SO your cam will work as long as you are not looking for power in to bottom of the rpm range.
rpm=168x final gear rationx mph /tire radius.
