cam???possible swap

i just built up my 351w. i did not pick out the cam but i know its a clevite. my question is what is the biggest cam i can put in to provide a little more power but i want a pretty smooth idle. i got gt-40p heads with stock rockers. and can i swap with the motor in the truck?
thanks

Call comp cam, lunati (holley), or crane, provide all specs and answer all questions and they will give you what you want. A general definition of the largest cam you could use might differ from one extreme to the next. Call the experts and you should get what you want. Good luck, later

From: Close to Mr. Anderson
stay below 220 duration and a .55 total lift on the cam to maintain streetability
look at the ERSON "performer" cam for the 351 w
