performance cam
I have a 1967 f100 with a stock 352 in it and I was wondering what would be the best performance cam that I can buy that will sound good and give me some power. I was looking at comp cams and I found one that sounded good for the money but i am still a beginner at this stuff. the cam was at http://www.racenet.net/valve/cca-ford-352-428-cams.php
at the 275 deh cam. keep in mind that i dont have that much money. Please help

I would look into some dual pattern cams. The FE heads are lacking on airflow on the exhaust. The Crane 343941 is a great cam for stock heads. You can go to www.cranecams.com to get the cam spec card for it.

Considering he said he's on a budget, I would check out Northern Auto Parts, since he can get the same cam with lifters for $99.00 as opposed to $179.00 for the same thing. Nothing aginst Jegs, as I've bought from them before. But come on, $79.00 extra just to get a sticker to put in your window, and another catalog? Al

Jeg's and Summit almost always have the best prices...just my experience. If not, I need to check out these Northern Auto guys :-)

Hi Gtex, I talked to them last week, as I was pricing a cam, and was quoted " cam and lifters, its our everyday price ". Just trying to pass on some cost savings for some of these guys, as these things get expensive to work on sometimes. Al
