cam info
Hey guys still a little new here and want to see what kind of cam you would recommend for my 68 short bed with a 390. It has a 4 barrel holley and sanderson headers. Not looking for a race cam just something to be able to cruise with and get a little more power. Thanks

2X!

Look for a cam with a lift around .515 to .525 .. replace the valve springs too.

Crane or Comp Cams...

I really like my summit street and strip cam. Cheap and makes great torque.

I really wish I went with a more lopey cam but I'm happy with it.
